# Oak Network Protocol Launches on Celo

> The Oak Network protocol is live on Celo, bringing decentralized crowdfunding infrastructure to any application.

*Published October 16, 2025 — Oak Network Team*

We're excited to announce the official launch of the Oak Network protocol on the Celo blockchain! After months of development, testing, and security audits, we're ready to revolutionize decentralized crowdfunding infrastructure.

## What is Oak Network?

Oak Network is a decentralized crowdfunding infrastructure built on the Celo blockchain that serves as the foundation for all applications, crowdfunding-specific or not, to leverage the power of blockchain technology for fundraising with a transparent 1% fee that goes directly to the ecosystem.

## Key Features Now Live

### 🏗️ Infrastructure-First Approach

Oak Network is designed as infrastructure, not just another platform. Any application can integrate our smart contracts to add crowdfunding capabilities without building from scratch.

### 💰 Transparent Fee Structure

* **1% Protocol Fee**: Goes directly to the Oak Network ecosystem
* **Platform Fees**: Configurable per platform integration
* **No Hidden Costs**: All fees are transparent and on-chain

### 🔒 Security & Trust

* **Audited Smart Contracts**: Comprehensive security audits by leading firms
* **Open Source**: Fully transparent and community-driven development
* **Zero Key Storage**: We never store private keys, using Privy and Turnkey for security

### 🌍 Celo Blockchain Benefits

* **Low Fees**: Cost-effective transactions for all users
* **Fast Settlement**: Quick campaign creation and fund distribution
* **Mobile-First**: Optimized for mobile DeFi experiences
* **Carbon Negative**: Environmentally conscious blockchain choice
