X Layer is an Ethereum layer-2 network connected to the OKX exchange. It processes transactions off Ethereum's main chain and settles back to it, aiming for lower fees than mainnet. It is EVM-compatible, so the same wallets, contracts and developer tools used on Ethereum work here. The exact technical stack can change with upgrades, so check the official documentation for current details.
Our data lists no native token for X Layer, so check the official documentation for the current gas token before moving funds. OKX has its own OKB token, but confirm what the network requires. Fees on layer-2 networks are generally a small fraction of Ethereum mainnet costs, though they vary with congestion. At the time of writing, DeFi TVL on X Layer is about $139.8M, and we track 49 dApps on the chain.
The ecosystem is largely made up of established multi-chain protocols that have deployed on X Layer. Uniswap V3, Quickswap V3 and V4, and DyorSwap AMM handle token swaps and liquidity provision. Dolomite offers lending and borrowing, and Spark Savings offers stablecoin yield tied to the Sky Savings Rate. Flap sh adds a memecoin launchpad. OKX, the exchange behind the chain, also appears in our list as a centralized platform that connects to it. TVL figures on individual dApp pages often cover every chain a protocol runs on, not X Layer alone.

X Layer FAQs
What is X Layer?
X Layer is an Ethereum layer-2 network linked to the OKX exchange. It is EVM-compatible, so Ethereum wallets and smart contracts generally work on it. Check the official documentation for its current technical stack, since L2 designs get upgraded.
Is X Layer EVM compatible?
Yes, X Layer is EVM-compatible, so it supports the same kind of smart contracts and wallet tools used on Ethereum. That is why established multi-chain protocols such as Uniswap and Dolomite can deploy there.
What token do I need for gas fees on X Layer?
Our data lists no native token for the chain, so check the official X Layer documentation for which asset pays gas. OKX has its own OKB token, but confirm the current gas token before you fund a wallet.
How much value is locked in X Layer DeFi?
At the time of writing, DeFi TVL on X Layer is about $139.8M. That is modest next to the largest chains, and the figure changes daily. Some TVL numbers on individual dApp pages cover all chains a protocol runs on, not just X Layer.
Which dApps can I use on X Layer?
Our list includes Uniswap V3, Quickswap V3 and V4, and DyorSwap AMM for swaps, plus Dolomite for lending and Spark Savings for stablecoin yield. Flap sh is a memecoin launchpad that also supports X Layer. Review each dApp page for details and risks before using it.
Do I need an OKX account to use X Layer?
No. The chain is associated with OKX, but each dApp is run by its own team, and OKX itself is a separate centralized exchange. Using a dApp on X Layer means self-custody, so you carry the smart-contract and wallet risks yourself.
What is the largest dApp on X Layer by TVL?
