About OpenGDP

Karak launched the first phase of its V2 mainnet, strengthening multi-chain restaking capabilities and supporting multi-chain asset collateral. In the restaking sector, Karak was among the "Big Three" with EigenLayer and Symbiotic, though with a smaller market share. Subsequently, Karak rebranded to OpenGDP, pivoting from a restaking protocol to a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain focused on asset tokenization, trading, and settlement, building an operating layer for programmable GDP. This transformation marks its long-term strategic upgrade from a single restaking track to comprehensive economic infrastructure.

In the past six months, OpenGDP (formerly Karak) completed its rebranding as a high-performance Layer 1 aimed at bringing real-world economic systems onchain, offering tokenization, native exchange, and coordination. Subsequently, the Devnet went live, opening contract deployment and a full-stack market infrastructure demo to whitelisted users.

The OpenGDP Foundation unveiled the design direction for the $GDP token, intended as a security and coordination primitive for the network, sitting alongside BTC, ETH, stablecoins, and other assets as anchor capital, with potential future use for fees and governance. No token is live yet; users should beware of scams.

The official roadmap shows a fast progression from Devnet to Testnet and mainnet, with the OpenGDP Network Stack (ONS) enabling sovereign, institutional, and enterprise-specific networks with shared security and interoperability, ultimately building a global base layer for programmable GDP.
