How Does OKX Navigate Memes? Head of X Layer: We Welcome 'Just for Fun' Like PEPE, But Reject Bottomless Hype
OKX Wallet and X Layer lead Zakk Wang discusses the strategic vision for X Layer, OKX's Ethereum-compatible Layer 2 solution. The platform follows a three-phase development plan: first, ensuring high performance and technical stability; second, building core infrastructure like asset exchange and DeFi protocols; and third, expanding into applications including Meme tokens, AI, and payments.
X Layer and OKX Wallet are developed in parallel to enhance user engagement and support real-world use cases like payment systems. While Meme culture is welcomed as a legitimate and organic part of crypto, the team opposes low-effort or unethical炒作. Instead, they focus on fostering quality projects through initiatives like hackathons and a $100M incentive fund, with an emphasis on community-driven growth and transparent evaluation.
Key application areas include payments—already active in regions like Brazil—DeFi, Perp DEX, prediction markets, and user-friendly DApps aimed at mainstream adoption. Zakk emphasizes long-term, steady development over short-term metrics, aligning with OKX’s broader mission to drive Web3 adoption through infrastructure, accessibility, and innovation.
