OKX has released the Exchange OS Whitepaper, introducing an open-protocol infrastructure that allows users to deploy spot, perpetual futures, or prediction markets on X Layer without needing platform approval. This initiative aims to democratize market creation by enabling developers and institutions to efficiently build new trading markets while maintaining control over frontend design, market structure, risk management, and compliance. OKX's Founder and CEO, Star, emphasized the importance of shared market infrastructure in advancing on-chain finance.
