On Monday evening, OKX, a centralized crypto exchange, launched the public mainnet of X Layer, a zero-knowledge Layer 2 network built on Ethereum and leveraging the Polygon Chain Development Kit. OKX's CMO, Haider Rafique, expressed a vision of X Layer and similar Layer 2 chains as the foundational infrastructure for the Web3 era. Rafique emphasized the analogy of dApps as marketplaces and self-hosted wallets as vehicles, envisioning an ecosystem characterized by seamless interoperability. This initiative underscores OKX's commitment to facilitating a smoother transition into the decentralized future, where accessibility and efficiency are paramount.
