CoinDCX co-founder Neeraj Khandelwal shared an update on X about a new toolkit.

"Announcing the Okto SDK developer toolkit as a key enabler of Web3 adoption. With social login and gasless transactions, we're making blockchain apps more accessible for everyday users. We've also reduced the need for users to worry about seed phrases or learn technical jargon, thanks to the toolkit's unified onboarding, login, and transaction framework, which also supports more approachable processes for various blockchain applications and use cases.”

Now in its third iteration, the Okto SDK is a developer toolkit designed to simplify multi-chain integration by automatically handling connectivity, abstraction, and transactions. It aims to reduce the burden on developers who may not have deep knowledge of each blockchain's token mechanics. With the Okto SDK, developers can focus on building the features and applications that users will enjoy, rather than getting bogged down in the low-level details of chain interactions.

The toolkit supports account abstraction and allows for the seamless integration of any chain, remaining neutral to provide developers with optimal flexibility and reduce development barriers while maintaining clear operational workflows for each integration. In essence, it’s a plug-and-play resource that new Web3 projects can use to quickly set up and deploy their applications. This design aims to lower the overall friction for developers entering the blockchain environment.

The toolkit features embedded wallets that applications can easily include, and users can opt into with email addresses or one-time codes—no need for seed phrases. This method lessens the learning curve for those who may be unfamiliar with typical blockchain login procedures. Additionally, gas abstraction eliminates the requirement for users to hold native tokens to cover transaction fees. These simplified fee and login flows can help to bring blockchain applications into the mainstream, making them easily accessible to everyday users.

This focus on user experience aligns closely with broader goals of supporting Web3 adoption and accessibility. The framework is designed to encourage a smooth and straightforward user journey without requiring specialized technical knowledge. This approach can help to bring new categories of users into the Web3 space and support the development of engaging and impactful applications.

The toolkit also includes security features like policy-driven tools for defining transaction permissions per user session. Session keys allow for delegated access to an application without compromising full account control.

Moreover, the toolkit has built-in cross-chain swap support to help applications smoothly connect various ecosystems. It also includes liquidity routing features that empower developers to easily route assets without needing to build custom bridges. These systems aim to reduce the amount of repetitive work required for each chain integration scenario.

This approach not only speeds up the deployment of new blockchain apps but also maintains optimal security standards throughout the process. Policy tools support compliance and customizable user experiences across different use cases and applications.

The Okto SDK works with frameworks like React, Flutter, Unity, and TypeScript, offering multi-platform compatibility so developers can choose familiar environments to build their applications.

Support for EVM and non-EVM chains eliminates the need for chain-specific development work, reducing the time to market for new blockchain applications across diverse networks. Developers can reuse code and components without rewriting for each chain integration, promoting efficient development practices.

This flexibility supports rapid iteration and easier maintenance over the application lifecycle. It helps teams maintain consistent user experiences regardless of the underlying blockchain choices.

Okto’s grants program is designed to provide financial support to developers working on promising Web3 projects. Projects that meet the criteria can apply for grants of up to $100,000 to aid in their development.

Selected developers will also receive early access to new Okto SDK features and ongoing guidance from the Okto team. In addition, they will receive promotional support to help increase their application’s visibility within the target market.

The program aims to foster innovation by alleviating some of the financial constraints that developers typically face. This support, combined with the comprehensive resources of the Okto SDK, can help to quickly translate ideas into working blockchain solutions.

The structure of the grants program encourages a focused approach to developing applications that address key user needs and contribute meaningfully to the broader Web3 ecosystem. This framework can facilitate wider experimentation and a greater variety of practical blockchain application development.
