The Octra community decides when to launch the next rewards distribution. Any OCT holder can vote, whether the tokens are simply held, staked, locked, or deployed across supported circles. Your vote weighs as much as your OCT-based voting power. Everyone who takes part gets a larger rewards allocation.
Octra is an FHE network for blockchain, AI and apps. Fully homomorphic encryption lets computations run on encrypted data without ever decrypting it, so privacy is programmable. Octra can run as a standalone L1 and as encrypted middleware for existing networks and applications.
Octra's in-house scheme maps operations across a hypergraph to improve locality and parallelism. By parallelizing encrypted computation instead of running it one step at a time, HFHE is a major throughput breakthrough for FHE.
Circles are isolated execution environments that host programs with dedicated application logic and encrypted data storage, so each app keeps its own private state on the network.
Octra works both ways: as its own Layer 1 blockchain, and as a decentralized encrypted compute layer that plugs into existing chains and applications that need confidential workflows.
OCT is the utility token that powers encrypted computation on Octra. It pays for FHE-based compute tasks, lets developers deploy privacy-preserving smart contracts, can be staked for rewards, and is used to take part in network governance.
Every FHE compute task and confidential contract execution is metered and paid for in OCT, so the token is tied directly to real usage of the encrypted network.
Lock OCT to help secure the network and earn staking rewards. Staked OCT also forms the base of your voting power for governance proposals like this one.
OCT holders vote on network proposals, including the rewards launch date in this vote. Voting power is measured at the snapshot.
Octra has been building toward production-grade FHE since 2021. With mainnet alpha live, the network moves into its rewards phase, and this vote sets the date for the first round of protocol rewards.
Octra Labs founded; active development from late 2022.
First internal HFHE prototype released.
Public testnet opens to the community.
Mainnet alpha goes live, ahead of the rewards phase.
You choose your preferred launch date for the next OCT rewards distribution. There are two proposed dates, September 1, 2026 and November 1, 2026, or you can abstain. Everyone who takes part in the vote receives a larger rewards allocation when the distribution launches.
Your voting power equals your total OCT balance at the August 15, 2026 snapshot, whether held, staked or locked, plus your OCT-denominated positions inside supported circles and apps on Octra. Plain OCT holders can vote too, and positions deployed in apps still count, so you don't have to unwind them to participate.
Submitting a vote requires a small network fee in OCT, the same token used to pay for encrypted compute on Octra.
Fully homomorphic encryption lets programs compute on encrypted data without decrypting it. Octra uses its hypergraph variant, HFHE, to parallelize that work, which keeps user data private end to end while staying fast enough for real apps.
