Gem Wallet continues to expand possibilities for our users. And this is why we are introducing full support for X Layer, the L2 network by OKX built for fast and low-cost Web3. Now you can work with assets on X Layer directly in Gem Wallet: store, send, receive, and swap OKB tokens.
Gem Wallet Integrates X Layer
Integrating X Layer is a natural step in the evolution of Gem Wallet as a next-generation multichain wallet. We aim to give users access to the most modern technologies, and X Layer fits our infrastructure perfectly. The network is fully compatible with Ethereum and provides low fees, high throughput, and fast transaction finality.
What Is X Layer?
X Layer is an L2 blockchain compatible with Ethereum (EVM), created by OKX to solve two major issues of Ethereum — high fees and limited throughput. The network gives developers a platform to build fast and low-cost decentralized applications, offering high transaction speed and strong scalability. X Layer also uses a single fee token — OKB — which powers the entire network: gas fees, operations, and interactions with Web3 services all run through OKB.
Benefits for Gem Wallet Users With X Layer Integration
-
Self-Custody: Gem Wallet is a self-custodial, open-source wallet, which means only you control your private keys. With X Layer support, your assets on this network also stay fully under your control.
-
Multichain Wallet: Gem Wallet supports more than 100 networks and over 10M tokens. With X Layer, our ecosystem becomes even broader, more advanced, and easier to use for DeFi.
-
Low Fees and High Speed: Thanks to X Layer’s high throughput — up to 5,000 transactions per second, much faster than the original Ethereum — using the network in Gem Wallet becomes even more comfortable. Transfers, swaps, and interactions with DApps are noticeably faster and cheaper, making the everyday Gem Wallet experience smooth and easy.
-
Single Fee Token: Just keep OKB in Gem Wallet, and all operations on X Layer are processed without the risk of running out of ETH or other tokens for gas fees.
-
Built-in DEX Aggregator: Swap OKB for ETH, USDT, SOL, and many more directly inside Gem Wallet. The wallet automatically picks the best route — you only need to confirm the transaction.
-
Simple Asset Purchase: You can top up your balance and buy OKB directly in Gem Wallet with a credit card — fast, convenient, and secure.
