In today's rapidly developing blockchain technology landscape, decentralized finance (DeFi), payment scenarios, and the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) are becoming the core driving forces of the Web3 ecosystem. As one of the world's leading cryptocurrency exchanges, OKX demonstrates its ambition in blockchain infrastructure construction through its Layer 2 network, X Layer. Meanwhile, GTokenTool, as a leader in blockchain technology, is gradually becoming an important part of the Web3 ecosystem with its powerful token issuance and management tools. This article will explore how the collaboration between GTokenTool and X Layer assists in the rise of the OK Chain ecosystem, jointly creating a brilliant future for the blockchain industry.
I. X Layer: OKX's High-Speed Highway for Web3 Infrastructure
X Layer is a Layer 2 network based on Ethereum launched by OKX in November 2023, built using the Polygon Chain Development Kit (CDK) and combined with zero-knowledge proof (ZK) technology, aiming to provide users with an efficient, low-cost, and secure blockchain interaction experience. Since the launch of the testnet, X Layer has quickly attracted the deployment of over 200 decentralized applications (dApps) across multiple fields, including DeFi, NFT, gaming, and SocialFi. The 'PP Upgrade' in August 2025 further enhanced X Layer's performance, achieving a transaction speed of 5,000 transactions per second (TPS) with nearly zero gas fees, laying a solid foundation for large-scale user adoption.
The core advantage of X Layer lies in its compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), allowing Ethereum-based dApps to migrate seamlessly without extensive code rewriting. Furthermore, through Polygon's AggLayer technology, X Layer achieves state sharing and liquidity integration across multiple chains, breaking the island effect of the blockchain ecosystem. OKX's Chief Marketing Officer, Haider Rafique, once stated: 'X Layer is the highway for Web3 infrastructure, dApps are the market, and self-custody wallets are the vehicles that bring users there.' This vision not only reflects X Layer's technical ambition but also demonstrates its determination to fully empower the Web3 ecosystem.
As the native token of X Layer, OKB plays an important role in paying gas fees and ecological governance within the network. In August 2025, OKX announced the destruction of 65.25 million OKB, locking the total supply at 21 million. This move not only enhances the scarcity of OKB but also further drives its price up, reaching a peak of $142.88, with an increase of over 200%. The deflationary model of OKB complements the ecological development of X Layer, providing strong value support for users and developers.

GTokenTool's multi-chain support also enables developers to achieve cross-chain asset interaction between X Layer and other chains (such as Polygon, Solana), further enhancing the flexibility of the ecosystem. In August 2025, the number of transactions on X Layer exceeded 2.05 million, surpassing Ethereum for the first time, with on-chain assets growing to $84.89 million. This explosive growth is inseparable from the support of GTokenTool, whose one-click token issuance feature lowers the barriers for Meme tokens and DeFi projects to go live, attracting a large number of retail and institutional users to participate in the X Layer ecosystem.
2. Ecological Incentives: Promoting Community and Liquidity Growth
The success of X Layer relies on its large user base and liquidity. OKX has over 60 million global users, providing a natural flow entrance for X Layer. Meanwhile, GTokenTool, through its community incentive mechanisms, further stimulates user participation enthusiasm. For example, the token issuance platforms supported by GTokenTool (such as DYORSWAP, PandaTool) allow users to participate in ecological construction by minting tokens, a model that has been particularly prominent during the Meme craze on X Layer. The market capitalization of OKAY tokens surged to $4.5 million shortly after its launch, fully demonstrating GTokenTool's potential in community-driven growth. Additionally, the partnership between GTokenTool and X Layer has also promoted the development of RWA tokenization. X Layer plans to introduce the tokenization of real-world assets such as real estate and bonds, while GTokenTool's smart contract templates provide standardized solutions for the issuance of these assets. For example, institutional investors can use GTokenTool to issue tokens representing real estate shares on X Layer, thus enabling the on-chain circulation and trading of assets.
