What's DEX Trading?
What's DEX Trading?
DEX stands for Decentralized Exchange. Our DEX Trading is an innovative feature that allows CEX (Centralized Exchange) users to trade on-chain DEX assets safely and conveniently—without leaving the exchange—while still retaining full self-custody of their assets.
What are the advantages of using DEX Trading?
Skip the hassle of managing private keys or seed phrases
You don’t have to back up or remember complex private keys or seed phrases. All operations are handled through Passkeys and a smart contract wallet, making it much easier to use.
Gas fees handled by smart contracts
During trading, you can pay gas fees directly in the crypto you’re familiar with, such as USDT or USDC. OKX, through smart contracts and a gas fee subsidy mechanism (such as Magic Spend), automatically processes on-chain fees—offering a smooth experience similar to CEX trading.
Trade directly with exchange balances
You can use your existing exchange balance to purchase on-chain cryptos, without needing to withdraw funds to an external wallet first. This makes the process faster and simpler.
Secure self-custody of assets
Your funds are stored in a self-custody wallet managed by smart contracts. We don't control your assets and cannot freeze or move your on-chain funds.
Multi-chain token support
Currently, trading is supported on major chains such as Solana, Base, and BNB Smart Chain (BSC), with plans to expand to even more blockchains.
Compliance and risk management
By integrating identity verification, anti-money laundering, and risk control systems, we provide risk ratings and trading restrictions for tokens, ensuring a safer trading environment.
