OKX has presented a clear roadmap for X Layer's development. The first phase focuses on integrating stablecoins like USDT. The second phase will see the implementation of major DeFi protocols, allowing for a wider range of decentralized financial services. The final phase will introduce incentive programs to encourage developers and projects to build on X Layer.
The OKX Vision Fund, a $100 million investment, will play a significant role in X Layer's growth. This fund will support startups and protocols developing the X Layer ecosystem, fostering innovation and expansion. OKX CEO Star Xu has emphasized that the company's strategic priority is to establish an open blockchain network, reflecting its commitment to the growth and success of X Layer.
X Layer, with its reduced costs, increased speed, and interoperability, promises to strengthen OKX's position in the Layer 2 solutions race. With a well-defined roadmap, substantial investment from the OKX Vision Fund, and a strategic focus on an open blockchain network, OKX is poised to drive the development and adoption of X Layer.
