As the time approaches for our OBT listing announcements, we wanted to first introduce the OBT token to our community and give you an understanding of what it is and what it’s used for.
What Is OBT?
The OBT token offers a wide range of rewards, perks and benefits, applicable to the whole growing Oobit ecosystem. The Oobit token is a decentralized digital asset based on Ethereum with a limited total supply, issued by Oobit. The key idea in creating OBT is to significantly lower costs within the crypto space, and when using the OBT token you pay fewer fees for all the different crypto services.

How Is the Oobit Network Secured?
As the Oobit token is built on top of the Ethereum blockchain, it is currently secured by the proof-of-work (PoW) consensus mechanism. As an ERC-20 token, owners can stake it and benefit from staking rewards. The platform also functions as a secure MPC and cold wallet backed by GK8, and hosts its own OBT tokens.
OBT is currently in the process of being listed on several exchanges, more details to follow in the near future. In the meantime, users can earn OBT by completing tasks on the platform as outlined above.
