Occam Introduction and OCC token

At Occam, we are passionate about expanding the benefits of blockchain technology throughout the world. Blockchain’s applications for decentralized finance are changing value as we know it. But we have found that something is missing. Hundreds of blockchains, thousands of protocols, and millions of users still deserve robust and efficient DeFi infrastructure. That's where we come in. We have a layered ecosystem that can reach several blockchains, but we are focusing more on Cardano network

The Occam ecosystem currently have 4 main components:

• OccamRazer: The next-generation protocol launchpad for decentralized fundraising. OccamRazer enables projects to raise funds, and in time we hope it will attract some of the most diverse projects in the blockchain ecosystem.

• OccamX: A competitive and efficient DEX already deployed on Milkomeda C1 network, filled with both industry-standard and unique capabilities. This DEX will provide the next building blocks to accompany most of the primary markets built on OccamRazer.

• OccamFi: This is a layer of the ecosystem dedicated to incubating projects. This program helps startups and developing companies to get access to mentorship, investment, and networks, and also provides guidance on business direction. Basically, we can allocate any kind of resources, and projects can take what they need the most.

• OccamDAO: Finally, our governance layer, together with the OCC token at its core, will govern how the ecosystem behaves. A decentralized autonomous entity controlled by the community, OccamDAO will be equipped with several opportunities for the ecosystem to leverage the power of our community.

Focused on Cardano

With several established blockchains, it’s a natural concern not knowing which one to choose when developing the next generation decentralized ecosystem. The classic Blockchain Trilemma that faces scalability, security, and decentralization cannot be taken lightly. But we are confident to have found an elegant blend of these three factors in Cardano.

Cardano is among the most promising blockchains and is the only peer-reviewed layer-1 solution, built with flexibility in mind. Cardano also has one of the largest, strongest, oldest, and most intelligent communities (>1m users across its vivid social platforms). Cardano provides a unique opportunity to develop the next boundless decentralized ecosystem.

OCC token

The OCC token acts as the fuel for the OccamRazer launchpad and it is indirectly used as well on the DAO governance layer.

On the OccamRazer side, the tier system works in a way where users need to stake OCC in order to participate in IDOs, and the staking functionality gives exposure to passively farming CHAKRA tokens as well. On the DAO governance side, users staking OCC and reaching tiers give the opportunity to receive voting-power NFTs which are needed for voting on proposals and OIPs (Occam Improvement Proposals).

The OCC token currently lives in 4 networks:

Ethereum: 0x2F109021aFe75B949429fe30523Ee7C0D5B27207
BNB chain: 0x2a4DFfa1Fa0F86CE7f0982F88Aecc199FB3476bc
Milkomeda C1: 0x461d52769884ca6235B685EF2040F47d30C94EB5
Cardano: 2ad8fbdc6f18d97ce61b113301f05ff6b2a241c4e0bf5d06127d30a2

Bridges available to move among chains are:

Ethereum <> BNB chain: https://app.chainport.io/
Ethereum <> Milkomeda C1: https://app.multichain.org/
Milkomeda C1 <> Cardano: https://cardano-bridge.milkomeda.com/

Where are the 7 million locked tokens held?

These tokens are held in a 'war chest' for the purposes of providing liquidity on trading venues other than Uniswap. There are many more exchanges we aim to list on, and each of them will require OCC tokens, as well as base assets such as ADA or ETH, to ensure a liquid automated market maker (AMM) pool; or a deep order book in the case of centralized exchanges.

OCX Token

The OCX token is the one fueling and governing the OccamX DEX component of the Occam ecosystem. It has core utilities built around an incentive rewards mechanism for OCX stakers, as well as grant access to its governance layer where decisions will be made along its trajectory.
