They shared insights on the collision and integration of CeFi and DeFi during their development process and expressed a positive outlook for collaboration between the two parties.
- Product-Driven and Innovation
Jeff emphasized that OKX focuses on product development and innovation, with the vast majority of employees dedicated to product research and design. OKX is not only a global leader in centralized exchanges but is also making strides in the decentralized finance sector. The company launched OKX Wallet, which supports multi-chain self-custody and integrates a rich array of on-chain applications, providing users with secure and convenient asset management solutions to encourage more users to engage in on-chain activities. Additionally, OKX introduced X Layer, showcasing the company's dual strategy in both decentralized and centralized finance.
- Collaboration with Uniswap
Jeff stated that the collaboration with Uniswap is highly anticipated, as Uniswap is one of the most successful on-chain products. The two parties will work together to create a user-friendly and secure on-chain experience. OKX is the first exchange to integrate the Uniswap API into its wallet, providing users with a seamless on-chain and off-chain liquidity experience. This collaboration allows more CeFi users to smoothly enter the DeFi world and enjoy the advantages of decentralized finance.
- Developer and Ecosystem Support
OKX actively supports the blockchain developer community by collaborating with *ETHGlobal, *DoraHacks, and other organizations, providing tools such as Eco Hub and xOS to help developers quickly enter different on-chain ecosystems.
Uniswap Labs also works closely with the Uniswap Foundation to support developers within its ecosystem, offering more on-chain development tools and resources to further drive innovation in decentralized finance.
- Global Users and Regulatory Compliance
Regarding regulatory compliance, both Uniswap and OKX stated that innovation and compliance are not in conflict. Both companies are actively addressing regulatory challenges globally to ensure that users can use their products in a safe and compliant environment. The two parties work closely together to ensure their products meet global regulatory requirements and balance innovation with regulatory risks through transparent communication and user education.
