FAQs
Q: How does DeepSEA improve smart contract safety?
A: Its compiler generates mathematically verified bytecode, proving contracts are free from overflow, reentrancy, and logic errors before deployment.
Q: Can OKTC developers use existing Solidity code?
A: Yes! CVM maintains EVM compatibility while adding DeepSEA's verification capabilities as an optional security layer.
Q: What makes NoOps different from AWS blockchain nodes?
A: NoOps specializes in:
- Pre-configured security policies
- Chain-specific optimizations
- CertiK's formal verification expertise
Q: How will the block explorer integration work?
A: CertiK's explorer will validate OKTC transaction data against multiple node sources, providing cryptographic proof of consistency.
Q: Is there a roadmap for WASM support?
A: Phase 2 (Q4 2025) will introduce WASM compilation, enabling near-native execution speeds for complex dApps.
This collaboration establishes OKTC as the most security-enhanced Cosmos chain, combining CertiK's academic rigor with OKTC's cross-chain scalability. Developers gain formally verified tools, while users benefit from unhackable infrastructure – a new standard for Web3 safety.
