About Octopus Network
Octopus Network is an interoperable, multichain crypto network for launching and running Substrate-based application-specific blockchains, also known as appchains. Appchains in the Octopus Network benefit from flexible and cost-effective leased security, out-of-the-box multichain interoperability, complete infrastructure support, and a ready-to-be-engaged community.

Polkadot parachains or Cosmos Zones require intensive capital to bootstrap the security needed to launch. Using the Octopus Network, however, decreases the cost to launch an appchain by 100 times because appchains can scale their security as they need it!

All Octopus appchains enjoy cross-chain interoperability with NEAR, Ethereum, Polkadot, Cosmos, and any IBC-enabled blockchains directly with an out-of-box IBC pallet.

The Octopus Accelerator Program supports Substrate developers and Web3.0 teams worldwide with a collection of open and composable courses and seminars. The Octopus Foundation funds 20 appchain projects through the Octopus Accelerator Program each year — granting $1M USD annually.

With the Octopus Network, we can build Web 3.0 applications with great user experience by leveraging appchain technology — unleashing a new wave of innovations for the Web 3.0 ecosystem.
