Exchange version AWS, OKX turns exchanges into public infrastructure OKX released the Exchange OS today, which grants market creation rights: staking OKB allows you to deploy your own trading market on X Layer. In the past, when opening an exchange, it was necessary to solve the matching system, manage risks, and handle settlements; Now all of these have sunk to the protocol layer, just need to decide: what market you want to do, how to charge, and who to serve. Just like AWS enables everyone to build a website, Shopify enables everyone to open an e-commerce platform, and Exchange OS aims to enable everyone to open a marketplace. Directly using OKX's same infrastructure at the bottom layer: millisecond level matching, 300000 TPS, zero gas. Each market has an independent order book, but shares the same account system. Funds can freely flow between the spot, perpetual, and forecast markets. KYC compliance mode and permissionless mode coexist, and risks do not interfere with each other. The logic of OKB has also changed: bet on OKB before deployment, the more markets opened, the more OKBs locked in. In June, OKX launched its first case study: simulating and predicting the market for the 2026 World Cup, integrating with Pyth/Chainlink, to verify whether this system can withstand real traffic.
