# Atocha Wiki Intro

## General Information

Atocha Protocol is an appchain built with Substrate and hosted by Octopus Relay on Octopus Network.

The advantage of being an appchain on Octopus Network are cost-effective leased security, out of box interoperability, complete infrastructure, and ready to-be-engaged community.

Upon Mainnet launch, Atocha Protocol is able to bridge between different networks like Ethereum, Cosmos, Binance Smart Chain and etc. This will significantly increase the accessibility of users from different ecosystems to use Atocha Protocol. Besides, users can also have a smooth transition from appchain to appchain within the Octopus Network ecosystem.
