A Note from OKX Leadership
Today, we’re unveiling OKX Pay—a breakthrough crypto payment solution embedded directly in the OKX app. Designed for more than 100 million users worldwide, OKX Pay marries self-custody, global money movement, and automatic yield in one intuitive interface. OKX’s goal is simple: make crypto as effortless as sending a text message.
Reimagining Self-Custody
Self-custody wallets promise true ownership—“Not your keys, not your money”—but they’ve often been too complex for everyday users. Losing seed phrases, hardware failures, or mistaken transfers have rendered billions in crypto unrecoverable. OKX Pay solves this by splitting your private key in two: one half lives securely in your device’s passkey wallet, the other half remains encrypted on OKX.
- Easy Recovery: Forgot your passkey? Recover via zero-knowledge email.
- No Paper Backups: Ditch fragile seed-phrase backups and cumbersome hardware.
- Absolute Control: Funds cannot move without your explicit sign-off.
Seamless Global Payments
Imagine sending USD, EUR, or any stablecoin overseas as easily as you’d text a friend. OKX Pay currently supports USDT and USDC—no trading fees, no network fees, no limits—so you can:
- Message Money: Pay individuals or groups in just a few taps.
- Instant Settlement: Funds arrive almost immediately.
- Borderless: No need to fuss with IBANs or SWIFT codes—crypto rails are global.
Introducing Passive Rewards
Holding your crypto shouldn’t sit idle—it should generate returns. With OKX Pay’s Silent Rewards, your balance is automatically staked into rigorously vetted, low-risk on-chain protocols, delivering passive yield with zero manual effort. Your funds remain fully liquid—withdraw at any time without lock-up periods—while the app continuously discovers and optimizes new yield opportunities on your behalf. Best of all, our transparent dashboard shows your earnings accruing daily, so you can simply sit back and watch your balance grow.
OKX Pay on X Layer: Gasless Crypto Meets Everyday Checkout
Built on X Layer—OKX’s purpose-built, ZK-powered Layer-2 blockchain co-developed with Polygon CDK—OKX Pay delivers zero gas-fee stablecoin transfers, high-throughput settlement, and privacy-preserving, efficient zero-knowledge security. But we’re not stopping at crypto rails: OKX Pay will soon plug into mainstream payment networks like Mastercard and Stripe, enabling seamless in-store and online purchases. Imagine tapping your phone at any Point of Sale to pay with USDT or USDC, while Silent Rewards quietly accrue yield in the background and your keys remain safely split between you and OKX. It’s the bridge from self-custody crypto to everyday retail.
Charting the Future of Finance
OKX Pay and X Layer aren’t just products—they’re the foundation for tomorrow’s compliant, self-custody financial services. Banks, fintechs, and institutions will be able to build their own dApps on this infrastructure, offering customers secure, permissioned custody and payment features. As global crypto adoption climbs toward a billion users, OKX is ready to power the journey—with speed, security, and simplicity.
