OKX, a world-leading cryptocurrency exchange and ecosystem, announced a new partnership with Ethereum’s leading Layer 2 scaling solution for non-fungible tokens (NFTs) Immutable X. The partnership will accelerate OKX’s strategy to make MetaX the DeFi portal of choice for retail and professional investors, now with an instant, zero-gas fee trading experience.
By integrating Immutable X with the MetaX portal, OKX can significantly expand its metaverse gaming assets beyond Gods Unchained, Guild of Guardians, Illuvium, Ember Sword, Habbo and Kongregate. The partnership allows OKX users to interact with the Layer 2 protocol seamlessly while remaining within its ever-expanding ecosystem of decentralized products.
Immutable X was built by Immutable in partnership with the ZK-rollup leading expert StarkWare. As a result of Immutable’s deep knowledge in NFTs and StarkWare’s bleeding-edge technology, the Layer 2 protocol is able to offer all of its integrated ecosystems, including millions of OKX users the ability to trade their Immutable X-powered NFTs with zero gas fees, 100% carbon neutrality, and massive scalability on the MetaX NFT Marketplace. Plus, all NFTs on Immutable X will directly inherit Ethereum’s battle-tested security. For projects and merchants, the partnership will provide the opportunity to reach a wider audience within the OKX and Layer 2 ecosystems by selling Immutable X powered-NFTs while interacting with many more OKX solutions.
The MetaX NFT marketplace will add Immutable X to its list of preferred solutions that already include Ethereum Layer 1, BNB Chain, OEC Chain and Polygon.

Robbie Ferguson, co-founder of Immutable, added, “Immutable is thrilled to power MetaX, OKX’s DeFi portal, and to support one of the largest crypto exchanges in the world. All OKX users will have access to unparalleled scale, liquidity, and security to trade and create L2 NFTs. Our partnership will empower people to create and own their wealth in the most innovative, decentralized and secure ways possible.”
