Octra is a Layer 1 built around fully homomorphic encryption, so the network can run computations on data that stays encrypted the whole time. Its native token is OCT.
Octra is a Layer 1 blockchain designed around fully homomorphic encryption, a form of cryptography that lets the network compute on data while it stays encrypted, so it never has to be decrypted to be processed. The mainnet went live in an alpha stage in December 2025 with real transactions and a bridge to Ethereum, and the native token is OCT. Here is how it works and what it is used for, not the price.

Octra combines its encrypted computation layer, which it calls Hypergraph fully homomorphic encryption, with a hybrid proof of useful work model that mixes elements of proof of stake and proof of work to validate and execute transactions. The native token OCT is used to pay for encrypted compute tasks, to stake, and to take part in governance. The network launched on mainnet in an alpha stage, so parts of the design are still being rolled out.

Fully homomorphic encryption
Octra is built so the network can run logic directly on encrypted data without decrypting it first. The team calls its scheme Hypergraph fully homomorphic encryption, designed to make encrypted computation practical for everyday applications.
Privacy by default
Because data is encrypted once it enters the network, the design aims to keep inputs and computations private across the whole system rather than adding privacy as an optional layer.
Ethereum bridge
Octra runs a bridge between the native OCT token on its own mainnet and a wrapped version on Ethereum, so value can move between the two networks. The native asset lives on the Octra chain.
OCT token
OCT is the native token, capped at one billion units. It pays for encrypted compute tasks and the deployment of private smart contracts, is staked for rewards, and is used in governance.
Ecosystem & usage
What Octra is used for.
Octra targets applications that need confidential computation, such as private smart contracts, encrypted data processing, and confidential workflows.
Private smart contracts
Developers can deploy contracts whose logic runs on encrypted data, aimed at applications where inputs and state should stay confidential.
Confidential data processing
The encrypted computation model lets the network process sensitive data without exposing it, which suits workloads that handle private information.
Cross-chain value transfer
The bridge to Ethereum lets OCT move between the Octra mainnet and a wrapped token on Ethereum.
In Zypto App
Hold, swap and spend OCT.
Octra is integrated in Zypto App. Hold OCT in self-custody, swap it to any supported asset, and use it across Zypto’s features.
Octra is a Layer 1 blockchain built around fully homomorphic encryption, which lets the network run computations on data while it stays encrypted. Its native token is OCT and the mainnet launched in an alpha stage in 2025.
How does Octra keep data private?
Data is encrypted when it enters the network, and Octra is designed to compute on that encrypted data without decrypting it, using a scheme it calls Hypergraph fully homomorphic encryption.
What is OCT used for?
OCT is the native token, capped at one billion units. It pays for encrypted compute tasks and private smart contracts, is staked for rewards, and is used in governance.
Is Octra live?
Octra launched its mainnet in an alpha stage in December 2025 with real transactions and a bridge to Ethereum. As an alpha network, parts of the design are still being rolled out.
Can I hold OCT in Zypto App?
Not yet. OCT isn't in Zypto App at the moment. You can hold it in any self-custodial wallet, and you can ask us to add Octra using the "Request Octra" button above.
