PANews reported on January 24 that Zakk Wang, product manager of OKX Wallet, stated at the OKX New Year's Eve dinner event that X Layer is an important cornerstone for OKX Web3's continued progress and needs to fulfill its historical responsibility.

The construction of X Layer will proceed in three steps: The first step is to solidify the underlying technology to ensure high performance, stability, and low cost over a long period, with transaction gas being virtually free and TPS and block generation speed remaining at a high level; the second step is infrastructure, DeFi, and asset development. While introducing Uniswap, priority will be given to building a stable and robust Swap and DeFi system, continuously improving on-chain TVL, supporting high-frequency and common use cases such as staking, avoiding ecosystem homogenization, and improving payment infrastructure, including card and X402 capabilities. All related construction will revolve around X Layer; currently, the overall project has progressed to the third phase, and OKX will begin to implement the previously announced incentive funds, starting with an X Layer hackathon for the community and universities to promote the implementation of more projects that truly contribute to the development of the industry.
