Welcome to Refract Network

Bridging the future of scalable utility-driven cross-web applications

NextWhat is the Refract Network?

Last updated 1 year ago

Refract Network's Closed-Beta Program S1 is now live! Whether you are a Web3 project eager to hack with RWA or a Web2 business looking to innovate new passive revenue streams, for our program waitlist to be considered for S2.

Overview

Refract Network is an infrastructure project that aims to bridge the gap between Web3 applications and real-world experiences/services/assets/anything. By providing a suite of tools and services, Refract Network enables seamless interoperability between traditional off-chain businesses (like Starbucks) and dApps built on blockchain technology. The network leverages the trustlessness and programmability of on-chain tokenization to create a frictionless environment for cross-application interactions.

Building bridges to the other side: Web2 <--> Web3

At its core, Refract Network serves as a middleware reverse-oracle integration layer, frictionlessly connecting the centralized world of Web2 with the decentralized ecosystem of Web3. From the Web3 perspective, this allows dApps to expand their services beyond the limitations of the blockchain, tapping into a vast array of real-world services. From the Web2 perspective, Refract Network eliminates the barrier to entry for traditional real-world businesses to gain exposure to Web3 and offer more ways to generate profit. This synergy creates a new positively self-sustaining ecosystem between Web2 businesses and Web3 dApps, governed by Refract Network's incentive model.

Through Refract Network's easy-to-integrate developer toolkit and robust infrastructure, developers can easily move off-chain functionalities into dApps, enhancing user experiences and unlocking new possibilities for consumer applications.
