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.
