OKP4 is a public dPoS layer 1 specifically designed to enable communities to trustlessly share data, algorithms and resources to build the Dataverse - An open world where everybody can create or participate in custom ecosystems (with common governance mechanisms, sharing rules, business models...) to build a new generation of dApps way beyond Decentralized Finance.

The protocol

okp4d is the node of the OKP4 network built on the Cosmos SDK 💫 & Tendermint consensus, and designed to become a hub of incentivized data providers, developers, data scientists & users collaborating to generate value from data and algorithms.

For a high-level overview of the OKP4 protocol and network economics, check out the whitepaper.
