Cryptocurrency Exchange OKX Coming Out With Layer 2 ‘X1’ Built on Polygon Technology


OKX, the sixth largest cryptocurrency exchange, announced that it is coming out with a layer 2 network called “X1” using Polygon’s Chain Development Kit (CDK).

X1, expected to go live in the first quarter of 2024, will make use of Polygon’s zero-knowledge technology, a type of cryptography that’s become one of 2023’s hottest trends in blockchain.

The announcement comes just as other major cryptocurrency exchanges have released or are pursuing their own layer 2 networks. Earlier this year, Coinbase rolled out its “Base” blockchain using Optimism’s OP Stack. Kraken is also reportedly looking into creating a layer 2 blockchain.
