In January, Uniswap launched on X Layer, giving users access to swaps, liquidity provision, and native markets such as xBTC, USDT, and USDG through its app, wallet, and API.<\/p>\n<p>In March, Aave launched on X Layer, allowing OKX Wallet users to lend, borrow, and earn yield directly on the network. That report said X Layer had about $25 million in total value locked at the time, showing that OKX was still working to grow on-chain activity.<\/p>\n<p>OKX has also added payment infrastructure linked to X Layer. A recent crypto.news report said OKX\u2019s Payment SDK lets developers integrate one-time, batch, and pay-as-you-go transactions using X Layer with low or zero gas costs.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OKX\u2019s Ethereum-compatible Layer 2 network X Layer has introduced Exchange OS, a protocol upgrade that lets developers, institutions, and ecosystem teams deploy their own trading venues.\u00a0 Summary X Layer launched&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9287,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29658","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cryptocurrency"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29658","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29658"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29658\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29659,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29658\/revisions\/29659"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9287"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29658"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29658"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29658"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
