The OKX Wallet has officially integrated support for the X1 Testnet, offering users full access across both the mobile app and browser extension platforms since November 15, 2023. This integration marks a significant milestone in expanding Web3 accessibility, enabling users to explore decentralized applications (DApps), manage testnet assets, and prepare for the future of high-performance blockchain ecosystems.
Whether you're a developer building the next breakthrough DApp or a user experimenting with Layer-2 innovations, the X1 Testnet within OKX Wallet provides a secure, efficient, and user-friendly environment to get started.
👉 Discover how easy it is to start using the X1 Testnet today.
What Is the X1 Testnet?
X1 is a next-generation, Ethereum-based Zero-Knowledge (ZK) Layer-2 network developed using the Polygon Chain Development Kit (CDK). Built for speed, scalability, and security, X1 aims to bridge the gap between major blockchain ecosystems and deliver a seamless experience for developers and users alike.
As OKX’s new native network, X1 is designed to unlock unified liquidity and foster innovation by connecting OKX’s global user base—over 50 million strong—with the vibrant Ethereum and Polygon developer communities.
One of the standout features of X1 is its use of OKB, OKX’s native platform token, as the native gas token for the network. This means OKB will be used to pay transaction fees on X1, reinforcing its utility and positioning it at the heart of the evolving Web3 infrastructure.
How to Access Your X1 Testnet Wallet Address
Gaining access to your X1 Testnet wallet is straightforward through the OKX Wallet interface:
- Open your OKX Wallet (mobile or browser extension).
- Navigate to the address page or network management settings.
- Select or add the X1 Testnet from the available networks.
Once added, you can view your wallet address and begin interacting with the testnet environment.
Important Note: If you previously used the OKBC testnet or conducted transactions on it via OKX Wallet, your wallet’s nonce value may already be greater than zero. This can cause transactions on the X1 Testnet to become stuck due to conflicting nonce states.
Recommended Solution:
- Back up your wallet (secure your private key or mnemonic phrase).
- Reset your wallet through the settings menu.
- Re-import your wallet using the backup.
⚠️ Always back up your wallet before resetting—resetting clears all stored keys and data.
For step-by-step guidance, refer to official documentation on wallet management practices to ensure a smooth transition.
How to Start Interacting With the X1 Testnet Ecosystem
To begin exploring DApps and testing functionalities on the X1 Testnet, you’ll first need test tokens. These tokens allow you to simulate real-world transactions without financial risk.
You can obtain X1 test tokens via the official X1 faucet:

Simply visit the faucet, connect your OKX Wallet, and claim your allocation. With test tokens in hand, you’re ready to interact with early-stage DeFi protocols, NFT platforms, bridges, and more—all built on or integrated with the X1 Testnet.
This hands-on experience is invaluable for developers testing smart contracts and for users getting familiar with ZK-L2 mechanics before mainnet launch.
Why X1 Matters for Web3’s Future
The launch of X1 represents more than just a technical upgrade—it’s a strategic move toward unifying fragmented blockchain ecosystems. By leveraging Polygon’s CDK, X1 inherits battle-tested ZK-rollup technology that ensures fast finality, low costs, and full Ethereum compatibility.
Key Advantages of X1:
- High Throughput: Designed for mass adoption with scalable transaction processing.
- Low Latency: Near-instant transaction confirmation thanks to ZK-proofs.
- Developer-Centric: Supports Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) tools, making it easy for existing projects to migrate or deploy.
- Interoperability Focus: Bridges OKX’s ecosystem with Ethereum and Polygon, creating cross-chain synergy.
- OKB Utility Expansion: Positions OKB as a core operational token across multiple layers and use cases.
With these capabilities, X1 is poised to become a hub for innovation in DeFi, enterprise blockchain solutions, gaming, and beyond.
Targeted Use Cases
- DeFi Protocols: Launch lending platforms, decentralized exchanges (DEXs), and yield aggregators with reduced gas costs.
- Enterprise Adoption: Enable businesses to build private or semi-private chains connected to public consensus layers.
- NFT Marketplaces: Support scalable minting and trading environments with minimal environmental impact.
- Cross-Chain Infrastructure: Facilitate asset and data movement between Ethereum, Polygon, and OKX-native services.
