Octopus Network launches version 2.0, planning to implement Restaking and NEAR IBC Port features

ChainCatcher news, the Near ecological multi-chain network [Octopus Network](https://www.rootdata.com/zh/Projects/detail/Octopus Network?k=MTQ0NQ==) has launched version 2.0, planning to introduce the NEAR IBC Port in the second quarter to connect with Cosmos chains and support cross-chain asset transfers. NEAR Restaking will go live in the third quarter, providing shared security services for Cosmos chains.

According to a report by ChainCatcher last December, 40% of the core team members of Octopus Network left, and the team token incentives were indefinitely suspended. This measure aims to help Octopus Network weather the crypto winter, with the team focusing on Near and IBC as the strategic cornerstones for development. (Source link)
