- OKX will rebrand the Layer 1 public chain it has been developing as OKT Chain.
- The press release details OKX’s three-stage strategy for developing the OKBC network.
OKX, a cryptocurrency exchange, revealed its plans for development for the year on Monday with the release of the OKX public chain development roadmap. $OKB Chain (OKBC) is a public chain project started by OKX in February with the intention of developing a ZK-based Layer 2 scaling solution for the Ethereum Layer 2 network.
Built by @OKX. Made for the masses.

To celebrate the upcoming launch of $OKB Chain testnet, here is a quick recap of what we have done so far and our plans ahead 👇https://t.co/GR2CyzpdI4 #OKBChain #Ethereum
In the meanwhile, OKX will rebrand the Layer 1 public chain it has been developing as OKT Chain. The OKX exchange’s native token $OKB thus increases in value by 5%, followed by a brief correction. The price has moved from a low of $41.62 to a high of $43.98 in the past 24 hours. In the last 24 hours, trading volume has continued to rise.
Three-stage Strategy
The press release details OKX’s three-stage strategy for developing the OKBC network: $OKB Chain V1, $OKB Chain V2, and $OKB Chain V3.
Moreover, $OKB Chain V1 is an Ethereum PoA side chain that prioritizes fast transaction times and cheap transaction costs. $OKB Chain V2 is the native ZK Rollup platform on Ethereum, which significantly increases scalability and efficiency. $OKB Chain V3 allows ZK Rollups to communicate with one another across chains and aids in the development of decentralized applications (DApp).
On the OKTC testnet in October, OKX reached a testing performance of 6,000 TPS. The OKBC V1 testnet, which will emphasize decentralization and zkEVM, will be released shortly. Interestingly, a dual-chain method is now in the works to combine OKTC and OKBC’s strengths for a more streamlined and intuitive Web3 experience.
