{"id":"dkargo","title":"dKargo","content":"**dKargo** is an [EVM](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum-virtual-machine-evm)-compatible [Layer 3](https://iq.wiki/wiki/layer-3) [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) built on the [Arbitrum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/arbitrum) [Layer 2](https://iq.wiki/wiki/layer-2) network. Initially conceived as a platform to address inefficiencies in the traditional logistics industry, it has evolved into a general-purpose L3 infrastructure. The platform supports standard [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) functionalities, such as [smart contract](https://iq.wiki/wiki/smart-contract) deployment and web3.js integration, while aiming to provide lower transaction costs and faster execution speeds. [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-7Z3DbrAT0sX9O7Bg) [\\[2\\]](#cite-id-sDjdTN1p9jPbrMac)​\n\n## Overview\n\nThe dKargo project was founded by Deleo, a South Korean IT company specializing in cross-border logistics, with the mission to build a blockchain-based platform to address trust and efficiency issues within the global logistics industry. The initial goal was to use [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) technology and a token-based economy to connect fragmented participants and create a transparent, reliable, and collaborative logistics network. By providing a single, tamper-proof source of truth for logistics data, the project aimed to solve common problems related to data silos and a lack of credibility between parties. [\\[5\\]](#cite-id-55MEDbQCOCGFi7F4)​\n\nTo better serve this vision and support a broader range of applications, the project evolved its technical strategy, launching its Layer 3 mainnet on September 19, 2025. It transitioned from a conceptual platform on the [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) mainnet to a dedicated [Layer 3](https://iq.wiki/wiki/layer-3) [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) built using the [Arbitrum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/arbitrum) Orbit framework. This strategic pivot allows dKargo to leverage the scaling capabilities of [Arbitrum's](https://iq.wiki/wiki/arbitrum) [Layer 2](https://iq.wiki/wiki/layer-2) technology, which in turn inherits its security from the [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) [Layer 1](https://iq.wiki/wiki/layer-1) network. The L3 architecture is designed to offer significantly higher throughput and lower [gas fees](https://iq.wiki/wiki/gas), making it more practical for the high-volume transactions typical in logistics and other [decentralized applications (dApps)](https://iq.wiki/wiki/decentralized-application). While its primary focus remains on [Web3](https://iq.wiki/wiki/web3) logistics, the [EVM](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum-virtual-machine-evm)-compatible infrastructure is open for general-purpose development, capable of hosting [dApps](https://iq.wiki/wiki/decentralized-application) in sectors like [DeFi](https://iq.wiki/wiki/defi) and [NFTs](https://iq.wiki/wiki/non-fungible-token-nft). The platform's ecosystem is built on three core systems: dOPTIM (logistics services), DATA LAB (data verification), and dHUB (DAO governance).

This framework allows for the creation of customizable blockchains that settle their transactions to an [Arbitrum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/arbitrum) Layer 2 chain, such as [Arbitrum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/arbitrum) One or Nova. This hierarchical structure enables dKargo to offload transaction processing from the more congested and expensive Layer 1 ([Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum)) and Layer 2 networks.  [\\[2\\]](#cite-id-sDjdTN1p9jPbrMac) [\\[3\\]](#cite-id-Dw0zK7oFCybQeYJZ)​\n\n### Data Availability Model (AnyTrust)\n\ndKargo utilizes [Arbitrum's](https://iq.wiki/wiki/arbitrum) AnyTrust data availability technology. AnyTrust chains operate with a Data Availability Committee (DAC). This committee assumes responsibility for storing transaction data and providing it upon request. This model significantly reduces transaction costs because data is not posted on-chain by default, only the hash of the data is.  [\\[6\\]](#cite-id-NW9IgJGB0bPIcg7v) [\\[3\\]](#cite-id-Dw0zK7oFCybQeYJZ)​\n\n### EVM Compatibility\n\nThe dKargo chain is fully compatible with the [Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum-virtual-machine-evm). This is a crucial feature that lowers the barrier to entry for developers, as it allows for the seamless migration and deployment of existing [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum)-based [smart contracts](https://iq.wiki/wiki/smart-contract) and [dApps](https://iq.wiki/wiki/decentralized-application) without requiring code modifications. Developers can use the standard [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) development toolchain, including:\n\n* **Smart Contract Development:** Frameworks such as Hardhat, Foundry, and the Remix IDE for writing, compiling, and deploying contracts in [Solidity](https://iq.wiki/wiki/solidity).\n* **Web3 Integration:** Libraries like web3.js and ethers.js for building front-end applications that interact with the dKargo [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain).[\\[1\\]](#cite-id-7Z3DbrAT0sX9O7Bg) [\\[4\\]](#cite-id-A9t5txOwCaq81f6O)\n\n## Tokenomics\n\ndKargo’s native token, $DKA, is issued as an [ERC-20](https://iq.wiki/wiki/erc-20) asset on the [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) network and has a fixed maximum and total supply of 5 billion DKA\n\nThe token is available for trading on several [centralized exchanges](https://iq.wiki/wiki/cex-centralized-exchange), including [Upbit](https://iq.wiki/wiki/upbit), [Bithumb](https://iq.wiki/wiki/bithumb), [HTX](https://iq.wiki/wiki/huobi), Gate.io, and [MEXC](https://iq.wiki/wiki/mexc), as well as [decentralized exchanges](https://iq.wiki/wiki/decentralized-exchange) like [DODO](https://iq.wiki/wiki/dodo) on [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum).
