The internet democratized publishing. Blockchain democratized asset issuance. Our latest announcement of Exchange OS democratizes market creation. Exchange OS will be a major protocol upgrade on X Layer that will enable builders to deploy spot markets, perpetuals, or outcome markets on the same institutional-grade infrastructure stack powering OKX. The core exchange functions, matching, margining, liquidation, settlement, and risk, sit at the protocol layer, shared by every venue. You control everything above it: your frontend, compliance framework, revenue model, and market structure. For traders: a unified account and margin system across spot, perpetuals, and outcome markets. One pool of capital, expressed across any market type, without splitting balances across platforms. For builders: deploy any market type permissionlessly, run on millisecond matching latency and 300K TPS throughput, within your own risk-isolated group.
