OKX, a leading global crypto exchange, announced a significant expansion of its wallet service today. OKX Wallet has officially integrated The Open Network (TON), marking its 100th mainnet blockchain network supported.
This milestone positions OKX Wallet as a comprehensive platform for users seeking to navigate the ever-expanding world of decentralized finance (DeFi). With TON now on board, users can manage TON assets directly within the OKX Wallet, including tracking, swapping, and transferring them.
Building a Multi-Chain Bridge
The integration of TON follows a series of recent additions to the OKX Wallet ecosystem. Before welcoming TON, the wallet incorporated support for NEAR Protocol, Blast, and zkLink Nova, further solidifying its commitment to multi-chain functionality. This strategic move aligns with OKX’s broader vision of fostering user exploration within the evolving crypto landscape.
“Our native integration with popular and emerging chains makes it easier to explore the growing crypto ecosystems,” stated Haider Rafique, Chief Marketing Officer at OKX. This sentiment highlights OKX’s dedication to empowering users with the tools they need to navigate the diverse world of blockchain technology.
The Power of Partnerships
OKX boasts a robust user base exceeding 50 million users globally. In June 2024 alone, the exchange facilitated a staggering $63.31 billion in trade volume, solidifying its position as a major player in the cryptocurrency market (data source: The Block). This immense user base, coupled with OKX’s commitment to multi-chain integration, has the potential to significantly impact the adoption and growth of emerging blockchains like TON.

TON’s Meteoric Rise
The Open Network, fueled by Telegram’s massive user base and the popularity of TON-based play-to-earn games, has emerged as one of the fastest-growing blockchain ecosystems in 2024. As of July 17th, TON boasts a total value locked (TVL) of $750 million according to DeFiLlama, a testament to its burgeoning DeFi ecosystem.
The integration of TON into the OKX Wallet ecosystem signifies a strategic partnership between two industry giants. With OKX’s extensive user base and TON’s rapid growth trajectory, this collaboration has the potential to propel both entities forward in the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrency.
