About Octra (OCT)

What is Octra (OCT) — and what problem is it actually trying to solve?

Octra is a Layer 1 crypto network built around Fully Homomorphic Encryption. In plain terms, data stays encrypted the whole time—even during computation. That’s different from most “privacy” chains. It’s not about hiding results later; it’s about never exposing raw data at all. Whether that’s overkill or necessary… depends on how seriously you think privacy will matter.

Why does Octra need its own token?

OCT is the network’s utility token. It pays for transactions, encrypted compute, validator rewards, and ecosystem incentives. Nothing exotic there. If Octra works, OCT becomes the unit that prices private computation. Eventually that value flows through normal markets—think OCT/USD or OCT/USDT—once trading actually opens.

How big is the token supply, and how is it split?

Total supply is fixed at 1,000,000,000 OCT. The biggest slice is validator rewards at 27%, which are unmined. Then 18% early investors, 15% Octra Labs, 10% ICO participants, 10% liquidity and ecosystem, 10% potential ICO extension (or burn), plus 5% Echo participants and 5% faucet airdrop. It’s more operational than hype-driven.

Are there vesting cliffs or delayed unlocks?

Public sale tokens are fully unlocked at distribution. No cliffs. No long vesting schedules. That’s intentional. The gradual supply comes from validator rewards instead, released as the network runs. So dilution shows up with usage, not on a calendar. That’s cleaner—but it also shifts pressure elsewhere.

How much money has Octra raised so far?

So far, $8.0 million usd. A $4.0M pre-seed in September 2024, then a $4.0M token sale in August 2025. Those rounds sold 100 million OCT, or 10% of total supply. The public sale is listed separately and hasn’t changed that total yet.

Who are the investors behind Octra?

The pre-seed was led by Finality Capital Partners. Other names include Outlier Ventures, Big Brain Holdings, Cogitent Ventures, ID Theory, Builder Capital, Presto Labs, Karatage, Vamient Capital, and Curiosity Capital. It’s a broad cap table. No single fund stands out as dominant, which feels intentional.

What are the actual terms of the Sonar public sale?

The ICO runs December 18–25, 2025 on Sonar. It offers 100 million OCT (10%) at $0.20, implying a $200M FDV. If it’s oversubscribed, allocation can expand up to 20%. Public dashboards still show $8.0M raised, because that’s pre-ICO capital.

Can you trade OCT anywhere right now?

No. OCT is still pre-market. Distribution is tied to fundraising, not open exchange listings. Pairs like OCT/USDT or OCT/USD are expected later, after mainnet and listings. Until then, liquidity is deliberately limited.

What’s the real bet here—and the obvious risk?

The bet is that encrypted computation becomes essential infrastructure, not a niche. The risk is obvious too: FHE is heavy, complex, and expensive. Validators need serious hardware. Developers face friction. If real apps don’t ship, none of the theory matters. That’s the line Octra has to walk.
