OKX and Consensys are teaming up to boost MetaMask with a powerful new tool: a DEX aggregator. This lets users access over 500 decentralized exchanges (DEXs) from one place. That means better prices, faster trades, and way less slippage.
One Wallet, 25 Blockchains
MetaMask now connects to OKX’s DEX API. Users can trade across 25 blockchains. It’s fast too — under 100 milliseconds per swap. Jeff Ren from OKX Ventures says it’s all about making crypto smoother and more connected.
What’s a DEX Aggregator?
A DEX aggregator pulls liquidity* from many exchanges. Instead of checking each DEX, it finds you the best deal instantly.
*Liquidity means how easily an asset can be bought or sold without changing its price much.
MEV Protection Is On
OKX Wallet is also using SERVO, a tool by Consensys to stop MEV attacks. These attacks happen when someone sees your trade and jumps in before you — like crypto front-running.
This is the first time SERVO is used outside of Consensys. It’s all about keeping users safer when they trade.
Safer After a Close Call
Earlier this year, OKX shut down its DEX aggregator temporarily. Hackers from the Lazarus Group tried to misuse it. OKX now has new safety tools, including real-time address blocking and fraud alerts.
Web3 Just Got Smoother
This move helps MetaMask level up as a multichain wallet. It shows how DEXs, aggregators, and centralized exchanges can work together for a better user experience.
