Keywords: Octopus Network 🌐 Omnity is an omnichain interoperability protocol with a 100% end-to-end on-chain tech stack specifically designed for the modular blockchain landscape. Omnity's invisible omnichain hub has the ability to connect any Layer 1, Layer 2, or appchain with fast finality, negligible user fees, and zero off-chain components. TLDR: Omnity has the ability to connect Bitcoin Layer 2s trustlessly, enhancing Bitcoin’s scalability while alleviating congestion and high fees on the Bitcoin network with zero offchain components. Omnity is built on the Internet Computer (ICP) built by DFINITY. The combination of ICP’s unique Chain Fusion Technology and the Omnity development team (formerly Octopus Network) years of intense development experience in interoperability, specifically with IBC (Inter-Blockchain Communication), has resulted in what very well could be the world’s first 100% onchain, crosschain hub with fungible token persistence, instant finality, seamless user experience and negligible fees (even when reading/writing to the Bitcoin network.) The Internet Computer’s on-chain Bitcoin integration is essential because it brings smart contract functionality to Bitcoin, opening up new possibilities for DeFi and Dapp development without congesting the Bitcoin network and driving up transaction fees. Omnity is a vast improvement over multi-signature or other external verification cross-chain bridges and ensures that all connected blockchains can effectively function as Layer 2 solutions to Bitcoin. This vision for a secure, fully on-chain, trustminimal, crosschain protocol underscores Omnity’s dedication to adopting and advancing the best available technologies for Bitcoin scalability.
