OKX Launches X Layer Public Mainnet to Bring its 50M Users On-Chain - Seite 2

Today, OKX is one of the biggest crypto exchanges by daily trading volume (both spot and derivatives) and custodies over US$22 billion of crypto on its platform. Meanwhile, the OKX Wallet is one of the most advanced gateways to the Web3 world, offering access to over 90 blockchains and aggregators for DEX and NFT marketplaces. The exchange boasts over 50 million users globally, making it a worldwide hub for a diverse community and ensuring the network launches with a significant potential user base with ample liquidity. OKX's platform token OKB will serve as X Layer's native token for the purpose of gas fees on the network.

Powered by Polygon CDK, X Layer benefits from a cutting-edge, ZK-based software toolkit tailored for blockchain developers. This innovative toolkit empowers developers to effortlessly build new L2 chains for Ethereum. At a technical level, OKX developers will also be contributing to Polygon CDK, ensuring that the core tech stack powering X Layer continues to innovate and improve. Additionally, X Layer will be joined by other chains powered by Polygon CDK via the AggLayer. Connecting to the AggLayer allows seamless transition of liquidity between X Layer and these other chains, thus bolstering X Layer's overall community size and access to liquidity.

Polygon Chief Executive Officer Marc Boiron said: "X Layer is a monumental next step in the industry's ambition to build a truly unified Web3. The X Layer's connection to the AggLayer solves the fragmentation of liquidity and users across chains on the AggLayer so they can all grow together. OKX's 50M users now have an easy path to onboarding to X Layer and all the other chains connected to the AggLayer. The impressive roster of talented developers who have already started to build on X Layer is a testament to the potential of the network, and we look forward to continuing to collaborate with OKX to achieve our shared goals for the industry."
