Unified Token Standard

Learn how OFTs eliminate the need for wrapped tokens and fragmented liquidity.

What Is an OFT?

An OFT (Omnichain Fungible Token) is a token standard that allows one token to exist seamlessly across many chains.

Why OFTs Beat Traditional Bridges

Traditional bridges create wrapped tokens, where the original stays on one chain and wrapped versions appear on others. This fragments liquidity.

With OFTs, the token supply is unified, tokens can move natively across chains, and liquidity stays connected.

Broad Adoption in 2025

In 2025, many assets adopted OFTs, including stablecoins, yield-bearing assets, Bitcoin derivatives, and institutional tokens.

Key points to remember:

  • OFTs unify liquidity
  • OFTs reduce complexity
  • OFTs are native, not wrapped
