OKX Wallet Now Supports X1 Testnet Integration

·

The OKX Wallet has officially integrated support for the X1 Testnet, empowering users to seamlessly explore a next-generation Ethereum-based Layer-2 network. Since November 15, 2023, both the mobile app and browser extension versions of OKX Wallet have enabled full functionality for the X1 Testnet—allowing users to manage test assets, interact with decentralized applications (DApps), and prepare for the future of scalable blockchain experiences.

X1 represents a strategic evolution in OKX’s Web3 infrastructure, designed as a high-performance, secure, and developer-friendly environment built using the Polygon Chain Development Kit (CDK). This foundation enables rapid deployment of Zero-Knowledge (ZK) rollup technology, ensuring fast transaction finality, low fees, and seamless interoperability with Ethereum and Polygon ecosystems.

What Is X1?

X1 is a ZK-powered Layer-2 network developed to scale Ethereum while maintaining security and decentralization. As OKX’s new native blockchain network, X1 aims to bridge major Web3 communities by connecting OKX’s growing user base—over 50 million strong—with vibrant developer networks on Ethereum and Polygon.

Built with the Polygon CDK, X1 leverages cutting-edge ZK technology to enable high-throughput transactions and near-instant finality. This makes it ideal for DeFi platforms, NFT marketplaces, gaming dApps, and enterprise-grade blockchain solutions that demand efficiency and reliability.

A key innovation of X1 is its use of OKB, OKX’s native platform token, as the gas currency for the network. This integration reinforces OKB’s utility beyond exchange functions, positioning it at the heart of a broader Web3 ecosystem.

How to Access Your X1 Testnet Wallet Address

To begin exploring the X1 Testnet, you must first access your wallet address within OKX Wallet:

  1. Open your OKX Wallet (mobile or browser extension).
  2. Navigate to the Address or Network Management page.
  3. Switch to or add the X1 Testnet from the available network options.

Once added, you’ll be able to view your X1-compatible wallet address and start preparing for interactions on the testnet.

Important Note:
If you previously used the OKBC testnet or conducted transactions on it via OKX Wallet, your wallet’s nonce value may already be greater than zero. This can cause transaction failures or stuck transactions when initiating activity on the X1 Testnet due to mismatched sequence numbering.

Solution: Resetting Your Wallet Nonce

To resolve this issue and ensure smooth operation on X1:

This process clears the nonce counter and resets your account state, preventing conflicts during early-stage testnet interactions.

⚠️ Always back up your wallet before performing a reset. Resetting will permanently erase stored keys unless properly backed up.

For step-by-step guidance on resetting your account, refer to official documentation resources provided by OKX Web3.

How to Get Started on the X1 Testnet Ecosystem

Engaging with the X1 Testnet is simple and accessible to all users. To begin interacting with DApps and testing network capabilities:

  1. Visit the X1 official faucet.
  2. Request X1 test tokens (used for simulating gas fees and transactions).
  3. Use these tokens to explore decentralized finance protocols, NFT platforms, and other experimental dApps deployed on the testnet.

These test tokens hold no monetary value but are essential for validating smart contracts, stress-testing interfaces, and providing feedback to developers before mainnet launch.

By lowering entry barriers for users and developers alike, X1 fosters an inclusive environment where innovation thrives. Whether you're building a new DeFi protocol or simply experimenting with Web3 tools, the X1 Testnet offers a robust sandbox powered by real-world infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the purpose of the X1 Testnet?
A: The X1 Testnet allows developers and users to safely test applications, transactions, and network features before the official mainnet launch. It helps identify bugs, optimize performance, and ensure security across the ecosystem.

Q: Can I use my existing OKX Wallet for X1?
A: Yes, both the mobile and browser extension versions of OKX Wallet fully support the X1 Testnet. Just make sure to add the network and verify your nonce status if you've used OKBC previously.

Q: Is OKB used as gas on the X1 network?
A: Yes, OKB serves as the native gas token for X1. Users will pay transaction fees in OKB, enhancing its utility across exchanges, wallets, and now blockchain operations.

Q: Do I need real funds to use the X1 Testnet?
A: No. The testnet uses free test tokens distributed via an official faucet. These tokens cannot be traded or exchanged for real value.

Q: Why did my transaction fail on X1 even after adding funds?
A: A common cause is a non-zero nonce from prior testnet usage (e.g., OKBC). Resetting your wallet after backing it up usually resolves this issue.

Q: Will data from the testnet carry over to mainnet?
A: No. All activity on the testnet is isolated and does not affect mainnet balances or accounts. You’ll need to re-deploy assets and contracts when the mainnet launches.

Why X1 Matters for Web3’s Future

X1 isn’t just another Layer-2 solution—it’s a strategic bridge between major blockchain ecosystems. By combining Polygon’s proven CDK framework with OKX’s vast user base and infrastructure strength, X1 accelerates adoption across DeFi, GameFi, enterprise blockchain projects, and more.

Developers benefit from reduced deployment complexity, native tooling support, and access to a ready-made community of over 50 million users. Meanwhile, users gain early access to innovative applications built on a secure, scalable foundation.

As Web3 continues to evolve, networks like X1 play a crucial role in solving scalability challenges without sacrificing decentralization or user experience.
