An EVM-compatible Layer 1 built on Cosmos/Tendermint, OKXChain (OKC) delivers fast, low-cost transactions, IBC interoperability, and OKT-powered DeFi and Web3.
OKXChain (OKC) is a Cosmos SDK-based, EVM-compatible Layer 1 using Tendermint PoS with OKT as the native gas token, built for DeFi, DEXs, GameFi, and cross-chain applications. Mainnet performance features ~1-second block times, fast finality, and low fees (simple transfers typically <0.001 OKT; many DeFi swaps <0.01 OKT), with throughput tested in the low-thousands TPS. Its EVM + IBC stack lets developers deploy Solidity dApps while natively interoperating with the Cosmos ecosystem.
OKXChain uniquely blends EVM execution with native IBC interoperability, enabling seamless Cosmos cross-chain transfers alongside full Ethereum tooling. Compared to Ethereum L1 (~12s blocks and tens of TPS), OKC delivers ~1s blocks, low-latency finality, and capacity in the low-thousands TPS with materially lower gas fees in OKT terms; it is competitive with other high-throughput EVM chains like BNB Chain or Polygon. Tight integration with the OKX ecosystem (exchange, wallet, on/off-ramps) further improves liquidity and onboarding for bridges and DeFi use cases.
OKXChain uses OKT as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain OKT by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
To bridge OKT to OKXChain, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select OKXChain as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on OKXChain you can use thirdweb, which provides an easy way to build, monetize and scale your apps, games or agents. You can find detailed guides and documentation on https://portal.thirdweb.com to get started quickly.
To add OKXChain to your wallet, you can connect your wallet and click on [Add to Wallet] button at the top of the page. Alternatively, you can add the network manually using the RPC URL and chain details and add it to your wallet's network settings.
To send OKT on OKXChain, ensure your wallet is connected to the OKXChain network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of OKT to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
