X Layer, crafted through the integration of Polygon’s Chain Development Kit (CDK), harnesses the potential of zero-knowledge (ZK) technology to expedite transactions and reduce costs, alleviating the strain on Ethereum’s mainnet.
It aims to consolidate liquidity and enhance the user experiences across multiple blockchain networks. This integration not only streamlines transactions but also underscores OKX’s commitment to fostering a seamlessly interconnected crypto ecosystem.
X Layer boasts an impressive array of over 170 decentralized applications (dapps), with plans underway to expand this ecosystem even further.
Among the notable dapps already integrated into X Layer are QuickSwap, Galxe, and Thirdweb, offering users a diverse range of functionalities and opportunities within the network.
To complement this vast ecosystem, OKX has seamlessly integrated X Layer with its Web3 Wallet, empowering users to effortlessly manage, transfer, and trade X Layer assets on OKX’s decentralized exchange (DEX) and NFT Marketplace.
