A Message from OKX CEO Star
Today marks a pivotal moment for OKX as we introduce OKX Pay—the industry's first fully non-custodial, compliant payment solution—to our 100 million global users. Currently rolling out in select markets, OKX Pay will soon be available worldwide within months.
This innovation embodies our mission: Integrating Crypto into Life.
The Challenges of Crypto Payments
Self-Custody Complexities
While "Not your keys, not your money" remains a cornerstone of crypto, self-custody wallets often present usability hurdles:
- Lost private keys = Irrecoverable assets (~14–19% of all Bitcoin is permanently lost).
- Cross-chain errors (e.g., sending BTC to an ETH address).
- Hardware failures without backups.
Payment Barriers
Early attempts like Bitcoin pizza purchases ($900 million at today’s prices!) highlighted inefficiencies. Even with stablecoins (USDT/USDC), crypto lacks the seamlessness of traditional payments due to:
- No native KYC integration.
- Centralized workarounds that compromise decentralization.
How OKX Pay Solves These Problems
1. Sharded Private Key Management
- Half stored in Passkey, half with OKX.
- ZK email recovery for lost passwords.
- Zero custodial fees—only you authorize transactions.
2. Stablecoin-First Payments
- Supports USDT/USDC (more coming).
- Zero fees, real-time settlements.
- Batch transfers to multiple recipients.
3. Passive Income Feature
- Auto-staking via low-risk on-chain protocols.
- No lock-in periods—withdraw anytime.
Compliance & Security
- KYC/AML frameworks.
- Multisig authorization—OKX cannot access funds without user consent.
- Built on X Layer (ZK-powered L2) for gas-free transactions.
The Future of Finance
OKX Pay and X Layer are laying groundwork for a future where:
- All financial institutions offer non-custodial services.
- Hundreds of millions embrace Web3 payments.
