Cointime Official

OKX, the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchange platform, has joined forces with Avalanche liquid staking solution Benqi in a collaboration that sees its native decentralized application discovery tool, OKX Discover, supporting Benqi, and Benqi integrating the OKX Wallet web extension on its website and product. The integration of the OKX Wallet, a leading self-custodial solution for digital assets, through its web extension on Benqi's website and product will enable users to flawlessly enter the Web3 ecosystem via OKX Wallet.

With the partnership, Benqi users can also access the OKX Wallet without leaving the Benqi website, providing a more convenient experience. Users can use the OKX Wallet to gain access to tokens, NFTs, and dApps in more than 40 chains and roll-ups. As a self-custodial wallet product, OKX Wallet users are in charge of their own private keys and crypto assets.

Both firms seek to promote the non-custodial, trustless nature of Avalanche and DeFi. For crypto swap products, OKX Wallet has integrated with OKX DEX, a swap aggregator, to connect with all liquidity from more than 13 chains and provide free trading for users. In order to fulfill the market demands for token transfer across different chains, OKX DEX optimizes users' output by finding the best liquidity providers and the route that minimizes slippage and network fees.
