Cryptocurrency spot and derivatives exchange company OKEx, today announced the launch of the OKExChain mainnet. After more than 10 iterations on the testnet and ongoing development, the mainnet vision is now coming to fruition.

OKExChain will be rolled out in four stages, starting with the Genesis stage from December 31, 2020, to January 13, 2021, followed by the second stage, which will focus on mainnet stability testing. In stage three, the transaction function will be enabled, and users can withdraw their OKT from OKEx to OKExChain. During the fourth and final phase, the smart contract virtual machine will be enabled, and OKExChain will be compatible with all projects on Ethereum with the main network officially fully launched.

Since its initial testnet launch, OKExChain has seen significant upgrades, including committing to open-source, EVM smart contract development, iterations to reduce trading fees, and partnerships with projects including Waves, Achain, and DoraHacks. OKExChain has also expanded its ecosystem of decentralized apps through continued development and a highly successful hackathon.

“2020 has been a year of incredible transformation and, while we have witnessed much suffering caused by the pandemic, we have also seen tremendous growth in the cryptocurrency space. For OKEx, it has been a year of reflection and learning, and we are thrilled to launch OKExChain to the mainnet, furthering the financial system of the future.”
– OKEx CEO, Jay Hao
