What is X Layer?
X Layer, OKX’s Layer 2 solution launched in April 2024, is ZK-powered and connects the OKX and Ethereum communities. It aims to accelerate Ethereum’s widespread adoption by expanding the largest existing Web3 community. To realize its vision, X Layer is constructed using Polygon CDK and integrates Agglayer, which also empowers the Polygon ecosystem and contributes to making the technology stack more accessible.
- To developers, X Layer being 100% Ethereum compatible means projects can launch at zero cost.
- To users, X Layer guarantees rapid transaction confirmation and low transaction costs, with fees only amounting to 1% of Ethereum’s.
What sets X Layer apart and enriches the original OKX ecosystem is its adoption of $OKB as the native token for gas fees and within various protocols on X Layer. If you’re a holder of $OKB and intend to bridge to X Layer, immerse yourself deeply in the affluent decentralized Web3 world with more than 100 dApps deployed!

X Layer, being a significant partner within the Polygon ecosystem, prompted the DAO of Quickswap to propose whether to launch OKX’s X1 (testnet name) or not, ultimately resulting in a tremendous success. 🐉🤝
On Quickswap, users can now engage in token swapping and provide liquidity to earn a 0.25% fee on trades proportional to their share of the pool.
