Okto commits $5 million treasury fund to support Vauld usersOkto, the self-custody DeFi wallet app offered by Indian crypto exchange CoinDCX, has pledged a $5 million treasury fund to provide support to Vauld users.Vauld, a Singapore-based crypto lending platform, brought a halt to all trading, withdrawal and deposit activities in 2022 as it ran into liquidity issues. The business has been undergoing a process of restructuring under the protection of the courts in Singapore ever since.Photo by Towfiqu barbhuiya on UnsplashIncentivizing user asset transferIn response, Okto has stepped forward with a proactive approach to assist Vauld users in their transition. Okto is offering a 2% bonus to users who opt to transfer their assets from Vauld to Okto.Neeraj Khandelwal, the Founder of Okto, emphasized the company’s overarching mission while unveiling this $5 million initiative. He said: “While this $5 million fund represents one of our initiatives to support the crypto ecosystem, our overarching vision is to empower the Web3 community through cutting-edge technology-backed platforms and apps designed to tackle the broader challenges within the ecosystem.”Self-custody assurance featureIn addition to this incentive, Okto is also offering a self-custody assurance feature. This feature allows users to gain complete ownership of their private keys, ensuring that access to their funds remains exclusively in their hands. Moreover, users can benefit from round-the-clock access to monitor their assets. That delivers a reassuring sense of control and peace of mind regarding the users’ cryptocurrency holdings, against a backdrop of those users having had the experience of being unable to withdraw their funds when the Vauld platform paused trading.The concept of self-custody is central to what crypto was supposed to be about. It grants complete ownership of assets to the user. Khandelwal outlined that Okto was established on the basis that it could strike a balance between security, convenience and custody. In this way, it felt that it could resolve what could be termed as the crypto wallet trilemma. “Okto’s enduring mission has been to provide users with a secure and user-friendly app, and we will persistently strive to achieve this objective,” Khandelwal added.Mitigating riskLaunched globally earlier this year, Okto is a keyless, self-custody Web3 wallet that ensures secure access to DeFi services while prioritizing the safety of users’ funds. This all-in-one Web3 app approach eliminates the cumbersome need to safeguard seed phrases, ensuring users have full control of their funds.Moreover, it mitigates the risk of a single point of failure through its state-of-the-art, custom-built, consensus-driven Multi-Party Computation (MPC) technology. With MPC, private keys required for fund access and control are never fully exposed, guaranteeing the constant security of users’ assets.Vivek Gupta, Chief Technology Officer at Okto, elaborated on the technology behind Okto’s product offering, stating:“Okto uses state of the art Multi-Party-Computation algorithms to create users’ private keys. Our MPC algorithm never produces a complete private key. Our MPC algorithm uses three nodes which communicate with each other under proprietary encryption channels and create a unique sensitive material on each node.”In addition to its security measures, Okto wallet boasts compatibility with multiple Web3 chains such as Polygon, BSC and Avalanche, along with protocols like Stader and WooFi, among others.
