RockX, which claims to be one of Asia’s largest staking solutions and institutional-grade blockchain access node providers, announced that it has “integrated with OKX Chain (OKC), an EVM-compatible layer one blockchain, to provide cross-chain node services for users to access the OKC ecosystem.”
With this integration, users and developers will “be able to enjoy full access to all OKC-based protocols through RockX and build on a secure and programmable smart contracts platform for Web3 decentralized applications.”
As explained in the update, OKC is “the native blockchain of the global cryptocurrency derivatives exchange, OKX (formerly OKEx) and is powered through Cosmos, an interoperable and expanding network of sovereign blockchains.”
RockX and OKC’s integrated infrastructure will “include an open-source, all-in-one multi-chain Web3 interface, enabling a seamless experience for both developers and users to build, scale and launch their own dApps with low gas fees.”
Wallet platforms that OKC currently supports “include OKX Wallet, MetaMask, Phantom, WalletConnect and TokenPocket among others.”
Chen Zhuling, Chief Executive Officer, RockX, said:
“We are delighted to partner with such an established and trusted brand as OKX Chain, who is completely aligned with our wider mission to grow the Web3 ecosystem. Our initiative will bring in new developers and partners that can meaningfully contribute and expand the development possibilities for a wider, more interoperable cross-chain ecosystem.”
Chai Li, Head of Ecosystem, OKX Chain, said:
“Having partners such as RockX in our development journey is invaluable, and we see many synergies in helping developers come aboard our high-performing and fully-optimized ecosystem, tailored towards creating the best in next-generation Web3 applications.”
RockX is “an active collaborator in various Cosmos-based projects, having earlier this year announced a service partnership with Interchain.FM, a proof-of-stake validator and podcast program for the blockchain, as well as an accelerator program to support Cronos, the first blockchain network that is interoperable between both Ethereum and Cosmos.”
RockX and OKC will “continue to explore new solutions to further develop safe, secure blockchain infrastructure that can bring about a new age of Web3 and mainstream crypto adoption.”
As mentioned in the update, RockX claims to be Asia’s “one-stop gateway to Web 3.0.”
The team is “equipped with a wealth of experience in mining, staking, protocol research, and infrastructure design.” In recent years, the company has “built access node APIs for popular Layer 1 and 2 protocols for developers, and helps companies to seamlessly access and interact with blockchains.”
