OKX Migrates XLayer to the OP Stack
OKX - one of the world’s largest digital-asset exchanges - has migrated its XLayer network from Polygon CDK to the OP Stack, joining a growing list of industry-leading operators building on Optimism’s open-source Layer 2 infrastructure.
One of the world’s largest exchanges processing billions in daily trading volume, OKX’s migration carries weight well beyond OKX’s platform: global enterprises, including exchanges, increasingly view on-chain infrastructure as critical systems akin to settlement networks or payment rails that require stability, transparency, and consistent operational standards to succeed in a competitive landscape
The OP Stack’s Growing Industry Footprint
The OP Stack, Optimism’s open-source framework for building Layer 2 networks, is the most widely deployed scaling framework today, powering ~70% of Ethereum Layer 2 activity and ~12% of daily crypto transactions. By leveraging the OP Stack to rebuild XLayer, OKX gains full autonomy over network operations while connecting to a broader network that is continuously improved by Optimism’s engineering community. Enterprises handling customer assets at scale, including exchanges, fintechs, and custodians, can expand on a foundation proven under real-world conditions, optimizing performance and security for their own operations – without the complexity of building it from scratch.
This adoption is part of a wider movement as enterprises increasingly standardize on shared, production-ready blockchain infrastructure.
Nearly 60% of Fortune 500 companies are actively pursuing blockchain or distributed-ledger initiatives, and estimates project the enterprise blockchain market to surpass $600 billion as production-ready infrastructure like the OP Stack gains traction. OKX’s migration shows the value of shared, open frameworks in reducing operational complexity, enabling faster product launches, and helping enterprises grow more efficiently.
