What Is Okto? – Simplifying Web3 For Everyone - Milk Road

Bringing the Globe Onchain

Have you ever wished DeFi felt as effortless as the apps you use every day?

If you’re tired of switching wallets, managing different chains, and dealing with multi-step transactions just to do something simple—you’re not alone.

The good news is, this is exactly what Okto is solving with its end to end chain abstraction platform. In simple words, Okto is getting rid of complexity so users can interact with Web3 just as easily as they browse the internet.

You don’t need to understand how HTTP works to visit a website—and Okto makes sure you don’t have to worry about wallets, gas fees, or chains when using Web3.

Its mission is crystal-clear: Bringing the Globe Onchain.

By eliminating technical barriers, Okto is making blockchain accessible, intuitive, and scalable for both users and developers.

Think of it like an intelligent blockchain octopus, seamlessly moving assets, executing transactions, and managing liquidity behind the scenes—while you just click and go.

P.S.You’re going to hear a lot of unfamiliar terms in this article but don’t worry, we’ve given a brief explanation for each of them. We got you.

Okto Is Already Established

Okto isn’t some new player trying to figure things out. It’s already a proven force in Web3.

To date, the project has:

• Over 12 million wallets created, taking the complexity out of crypto for users everywhere.
• Integrated with 50+ protocols, making DeFi interactions smooth and hassle-free.
• Supports 20+ EVM and alt-VM chains, bridging gaps between ecosystems.
• Handles over $1 billion in monthly transactions, proving real adoption and trust.

Supporting it all is CoinDCX, India’s multi-billion-dollar crypto exchange.

How Does the Okto Platform Work?

Behind the scenes, Okto completely rewires how transactions work. The result? As a user, you never have to think about the complexities of Web3.

This magic comes from its orchestration layer, which does everything in the background. Here’s a quick breakdown of each piece of the puzzle that makes abstraction possible:

1. Seamless Transactions With DTNs

Okto’s Decentralized Transaction Networks (DTNs) get rid of the manual steps that make blockchain transactions frustrating.

They take complex actions and break them into smaller, manageable steps that run in the background. They coordinate everything across multiple chains, making sure each step gets completed smoothly—from start to finish—without you having to worry about the details.

No more approving every step, waiting for confirmations, or dealing with failed transactions—DTNs handle everything automatically.

This includes:

• Bundling and optimizing transactionsacross multiple chains for faster, more efficient transactions.
• Covering gas fees behind the scenes, so users never need to hold native tokens.
• Automatically retryingfailed transactions and managing nonces to prevent errors.
• Finding the best execution price in real-time, so you always get the best deal on cross-chain transactions.

With DTNs, multi-chain transactions on Okto happen effortlessly—no extra steps, no delays, no frustration.

2. One Wallet, All Chains: Powered By DWNs

That’s DTNs. Now, let’s talk about Decentralized Wallet Networks (DWNs).

Okto’s DWNs act as your universal Web3 wallet, working seamlessly across EVM chains, Solana, Aptos, and more—no network switching, no multiple wallets to manage.

Multi-Party Computation (MPC) security keeps your assets safe by splitting your private key into multiple encrypted parts, ensuring full self-custody without the risks of a single point of failure.

MPC nodes are run and secured by EigenLayer Actively Validated Service (AVS) operators.

DWNs also make transactions smoother with:

• Delegated signing,letting apps execute pre-approved actions securely and within set limits, so you’re not stuck clicking through endless confirmations.
• Session-based permissions, so you can interact with dApps continuously after a single authentication—no more repetitive confirmations slowing you down.

3. Cross-Chain Swaps Made Simple By ULL

No more searching for the best way to swap or bridge assets—Okto’s Unified Liquidity Layer (ULL) does it for you.

Whenever you move assets between chains, ULL automatically finds the fastest, safest, and most cost-effective swap route. It uses the ERC-7683 compatible solver network to make cross-chain swaps as easy as a single click.

You don’t need to worry about liquidity, bridging, or picking the right network. Okto handles everything in the background, so your assets always end up where they need to be, hassle-free.

4. Transparency And Decentralization Via Okto Chain

The final piece of the puzzle is the Okto Chain, the middleware blockchain that lets the rest of the system run in a transparent and decentralized way.

Okto chain is built on Polygon CDK as a zk-based Layer 2. Currently on testnet, Okto Chain orchestrates transactions across the supported chains, making everything silky smooth, automated, and fully verifiable.

What can it do?

• Coordination Hub: The Okto Chain acts as the control center, making sure everything runs smoothly across the Okto Ecosystem—including the Decentralized Wallet Network (DWN), Unified Liquidity Layer (ULL), and Decentralized Transaction Network (DTN).
• Trustless Ledger: Built as a ZK-rollup on Polygon CDK, it keeps a tamper-proof, transparent record of all user actions, transactions, and security rules.
• Policy & Permission Enforcer: Every interaction follows the rules. The system automatically checks that all actions stay within user-defined policies and permissions—no surprises, just security.

Unlike a typical Layer 1 or Layer 2, Okto Chain acts as a middleware layer and doesn’t compete with other blockchains or users for liquidity.

It coordinates wallets, liquidity, and transactions behind the scenes, so that users don’t need to think about chains at all.

The Okto Wallet: DeFi Without The Headaches

Okto Wallet is the first dapp built on the Okto platform—and it’s the perfect demonstration of the power of Okto and chain abstraction.

Why? Simple. It makes DeFi feel as easy as using a regular app.

No more juggling wallets, switching networks, or worrying about gas fees—just one wallet that works across Ethereum, Solana, Aptos, and more.

Security? It’s rock solid. As mentioned above, MPC technology keeps your assets safe while giving you full self-custody.

Swapping across 16+ chains? One click and it’s done, thanks to Okto handling bridging and fees in the background.

Even if you’re into Hyperliquid futures and spot trading, Okto wallet has you covered—no extra hassle.

Plus, with social logins, multi-factor authentication, and real-time alerts, you get Web2-level ease without sacrificing security.

And the best part? Okto Platform keeps everything running smoothly behind the scenes, so you don’t have to think about networks, liquidity, or fees—it just works.

Hyperliquid Integration

Trading on Hyperliquid is already pretty great, offering a CEX-like experience with amazing speed.

On the other hand, it still falls victim to many web3 pain points like switching chains, bridging funds and a sub-par experience on mobile.

The good news is, Okto Wallet has taken care of these pain points for a smooth experience from start to finish.

Here’s what they’ve done with their Hyperliquid integration:

• Effortless Trading: Deposit from any chain. Okto handles bridging, gas, and network switching automatically.
• Made for Mobile: Trade on Hyperliquid like it’s a finance app. No network switching, no bridging, no worrying about gas.
• Seamless Desktop Sync: Manage your mobile positions on Hyperliquid’s web app—sync with no extra setup.
• Stack Rewards: Earn $HYPE and Okto points, leading to $OKTO airdrops, lower fees, and early feature access.

Spot and futures trading are baked right in, real-time alerts keep you in the loop, and self-custodial security means you’re always in control.

In a nutshell, Okto Wallet gives you the full Hyperliquid experience with none of the usual DeFi headaches.
