Building with Okto SDK: Sample Use Cases

Okto isn’t just an SDK—it’s a toolbox for building vibrant Web3 experiences. Below, we explore some example use cases and how they can harness Okto’s features, from cross-chain asset management to easy authentication and beyond. Think of these as inspiration points for your own dApp, service, or community project.

Whenever you see a feature or function that aligns with your needs, jump into our SDK Overview or API Reference to dig deeper into implementation details.

1. Consumer Apps

Idea

You want to build a Web3 consumer app that feels as simple as a traditional web application—no complicated wallet or seed phrase flows.

How Okto Helps

  • Easy Auth: Use Google OAuth, Email OTP, or Phone OTP to onboard users with minimal friction.
  • MPC-Backed Wallets: Okto automatically creates and manages user wallets under the hood, removing the usual complexity of seed phrases and private key management. Leverage Okto’s Embedded Wallet to embed wallets seamlessly in your front-end.
  • Cross-Chain Transactions: If you need to handle multiple blockchain networks in one app, Okto’s chain abstraction handles it through straightforward functions. Explore transferTokens() for fungible assets or transferNft() for NFTs.

Example

  • Decentralized Social Media: Token-based reward systems for content creators and easy membership token gating.
  • Digital Identity Management: Storing and verifying user credentials on-chain, with user-friendly logins.

2. DeFi Protocols with Mobile-Friendly Interfaces

Idea

You’re building a DeFi application where users can stake, borrow, or trade assets from their mobile devices with minimal fuss.

How Okto Helps

  • Responsive, One-Click Transactions: Okto handles gas fees, retries, and multi-step calls behind the scenes. All you do is call an API function like transferTokens() or executeRawTransaction(). See the API Reference for examples.
  • Gas Sponsorship (Optional): Let users interact even if they don’t hold chain-native tokens. Learn more in the Sponsorship documentation.

Example

  • Mobile Lending/Borrowing: A single UI to deposit tokens as collateral on chain A, borrow stablecoins on chain B, and track it all in one place.
  • Staking & Farming: One-click stake/un-stake flows on multiple chains through Okto’s unified approach.

3. On-Chain Gaming

Idea

You’re building a blockchain-based game in which items, characters, or currency are NFTs or tokens that players truly own and can trade freely.

How Okto Helps

  • MPC Wallet Security: Protect players from losing their precious in-game NFTs. Okto’s multi-party computation approach secures user accounts from single-point-of-failure attacks.
  • NFT Transfer & Mint: Use Okto’s NFT APIs to mint new weapons, characters, or gear. Your code can look as simple as transferNft() to transfer an NFT, while Okto handles the complexity.
  • Cross-Game Portability: If you plan to let users move items across multiple titles or blockchains, Okto’s cross-chain capabilities unify everything under one developer interface.

Example

  • Play-to-Earn Mechanics: Reward active gamers with on-chain tokens or unique NFTs.
  • NFT-Based Avatars & Equipment: Let players keep their weapons, skins, or collectibles in personal wallets, easily tradable on external markets.

4. Apps that Combine Multiple Blockchain Network User Flows

Idea

A “super-app” letting users handle assets, NFTs, or bridging across different blockchains in a single interface.

How Okto Helps

  • Unified Portfolio: Okto’s Portfolio & Balances API aggregates user balances across networks, so you can build a consolidated dashboard with minimal code.
  • Easy Cross-Chain Swaps: Integrate bridging or aggregator logic, while Okto automatically determines the best path or bridging solution.

Example

  • All-in-One Crypto Management: Stake on Solana, claim NFTs on Polygon, and manage stablecoin balances on Ethereum from one app.
  • Multi-Network DEX Aggregation: Show the best swap routes across chains while letting Okto handle multi-chain token transfers.

5. Chatbots and Bot Integrations (Telegram/Discord/WhatsApp)

Idea

You want a chatbot to handle DeFi trades, fetch user balances, or even stake tokens on behalf of users inside popular messaging apps.

How Okto Helps

  • Server-Side Integrations: Use the Okto APIs from your bot’s backend. The bot can call transferTokens() or executeRawTransaction() as user commands.
  • Simple Webhooks: Pair Okto’s Order History or Raw Transaction Status APIs to push real-time updates to your chat, letting users know a swap was successful.
  • Multi-Chain Portfolio: Fetch user balances across multiple chains, delivering a single “!portfolio” command that returns a comprehensive overview.

Example

  • DeFi Alerts & Automation: The bot automatically harvests yield, checks for liquidation triggers, or invests in new pools.
  • Social Trading: Users in a Telegram group can share or copy trades with quick confirmation steps, powered by Okto behind the scenes.

6. DeFi Dashboards

Idea

You’re building a meta-dashboard that aggregates positions, yields, or liquidity across multiple DeFi protocols, letting users see and manage everything in one place.

How Okto Helps

  • Cross-Protocol Data Retrieval: Portfolio & Balances APIs unify user holdings from multiple chains.
  • User-Centric Logins: Users simply log in (e.g., via Google or OTP), and you can display or update their positions on multiple networks simultaneously.
  • Automated Rebalancing: Combine raw transactions to do multi-step processes (e.g., harvest reward + convert + stake again) in a single call.

Example

  • Personal “One-Stop” DeFi Tracker: Show yield rates, prompt one-click harvest, or let them switch protocols with minimal overhead.
  • DAO Treasury Dashboard: Provide treasury members a consolidated view of tokens, staked assets, and yield across diverse protocols.

7. Expanding Existing Web2 Apps

Idea

You run an established Web2 service (e.g., e-commerce, a streaming platform, or a social app) and want to weave in token-based features, crypto payments, or NFT memberships—without forcing your users through typical Web3 friction.

How Okto Helps

  • Incremental Adoption: Keep your existing UI and flows, but embed Okto’s wallet creation and token logic behind the scenes.
  • Payment Processing: Let users pay in stablecoins, while Okto auto-manages bridging or chain selection—ideal for global e-commerce expansions.
  • NFT Memberships or Premium Access: Issue membership tokens or coupons as NFTs. Okto’s integrated approach ensures your front-end remains simple and user-friendly.

Example

  • Streaming Services: Deploy a token or NFT “pass” for premium features, airdrop content-based tokens to loyal watchers.
  • Splitwise-like Payment Apps: Manage group expenses in stablecoins, handle multi-chain cross-settlements, or manage on-chain group wallets.

How to Get Started
