The OKX DEX pro-trading interface represents a significant evolution from the platform's original basic swap functionality between networks. This upgrade brings advanced charting and new order types into the onchain experience, giving traders access to strategies like limit orders and take-profit/stop-loss (TP/SL) directly within OKX Wallet. But it also surfaced the long-standing pain points that come with executing advanced trades onchain. When traders attempt to run complex strategies onchain, they face two major challenges:

Uniswap, DeFi’s leading decentralized exchange trusted by millions, is now live on X Layer, our high-performance Layer-2 blockchain. This integration gives our customers in-app access to fast, low-cost access to deep markets at a low cost, and with seamless trading across thousands of assets within the OKX ecosystem.

DeFi lending has come a long way, but the customer experience can still feel fragmented, with complicated protocols and challenges such as limited liquidity and unproven security on some chains. Today, we’re thrilled to announce a major step forward in closing that gap: Aave - the world's most trusted DeFi lending protocol - is coming to X Layer, OKX's high-performance Layer 2.
