1024 Programmer's Day | OKX teams up with Google Cloud, AWS, Polygon, and 15 other leading companies to pay tribute to Web3 technology

Cryptographic programmers and medieval Renaissance figures seem to mirror each other: they break the shackles of dogma, tear apart the constraints of tradition, and, with boundless creativity and exceptional technical ability, drive a brand new world full of possibilities.

Inspired by the Bitcoin white paper in 2008, cryptographic programmers propelled this exhilarating wave of cryptocurrency through code and algorithms, giving rise to a series of innovations such as DeFi, NFTs, and smart contracts, ushering in a new era of freedom, transparency, and trust that quickly swept the globe. Just as Renaissance masters redefined art and science, cryptographic programmers have redefined finance and the internet.

On October 24, global on-chain technology company OKX released its 1024 Programmer's Day brand TVC for the second consecutive year, paying special tribute to programmers and celebrating the festival where code changes humanity. The TVC, themed "Onchain the Future, Together!", invited 15 leading companies, including Google Cloud, AWS, Polygon, GoPlus, Uniswap, and 1inch, to engage in in-depth discussions on cutting-edge topics in the Web3 industry, such as infrastructure development, standardized protocols, security and trust, and technological innovation, aiming to advocate for industry professionals to work hand in hand to create a more transparent, secure, intelligent, and clear future.

1. The Shared Core of OKX and Programmers: Innovation Driven by Collaboration and Sharing

In the TVC, partners expressed their expectations and recognition of OKX products, which stem from the shared core between OKX and industry programmers. The career development of programmers has evolved alongside changes in computer technology, with its core spirit being problem-solving and innovation-driven. Behind every piece of code lies a solution to a problem. From small scripts to complex systems supporting the global internet, programmers continuously write code to create innovative solutions that meet various complex needs. It is this pursuit of ultimate solutions that drives continuous technological advancement.

As a technology-driven brand, OKX's core motivation also comes from the relentless pursuit of innovation, which enables it to overcome barriers at the forefront of technology. By deeply engaging in technological research and development, OKX has not only built an outstanding trading platform for users but has also simplified complex blockchain technology, presenting a secure, convenient, and user-friendly product experience that allows more people to enjoy unrestricted and equal financial services, bringing deeper liquidity and more users to Web3. In this rapidly changing cryptocurrency world, OKX uses innovation as a beacon, leading the future development of the Web3 industry and empowering global users to easily integrate into the wave of decentralized economy.

The open-source community is also a concentrated embodiment of the programmer spirit. In thousands of open-source projects worldwide, programmers collaborate freely and share knowledge, promoting equitable technological development. Projects like Linux, Python, and Node.js are excellent results developed and maintained by global programmers. Open source not only provides a powerful driving force for technological development but also fosters a culture of collaboration, transparency, and sharing, shaping a unique atmosphere within the programmer community.

On June 18, 2024, OKX Web3 Wallet officially launched its Security Center, which encompasses five major aspects: code open-source, multi-party audits, vulnerability bounty programs, etc., and supports users to verify publicly, aiming to create a safer Web3 ecosystem. In terms of code open-source, the OKX Web3 Wallet has completed the open-sourcing of its core code, including mnemonic phrases, private keys, MPC, and other core algorithms, which have undergone extensive verification by the technical community, allowing users to freely view and audit the implementation details on GitHub, enhancing transparency. Through continuous open-source actions, OKX Web3 leads the wallet sector in continuously improving user asset security while contributing to industry development.

2. Empowering Developers, OKX Dedicates Itself to Promoting Industry Technological Development

OKX possesses strong technological innovation and a profound programmer culture, striving to collaborate, connect, and achieve win-win outcomes with partners, empowering global developers, unlocking technological imagination, and creating infinite vitality. In the TVC, OKX stated that it will continue to work hand in hand with global technology practitioners: Going Onchain, Build Onchain, Onchain the future, together!

Over the years, while perfecting its own technology, OKX has established technical collaborations with leading global companies to jointly build the industry, develop innovations, and assist developers in integrating more complete product functionalities into their applications, such as creating multi-port APIs, open-source code libraries, and releasing the on-chain infrastructure suite OKX OS, while continuously enhancing transparency, security, and risk interception capabilities.

Among them, the multi-chain Web3 development engine OKX OS has been used by hundreds of projects, processing over 400 million API calls daily. OKX OS provides comprehensive tools, software development kits (SDKs), and APIs to help developers offer users a seamless on-chain experience from wallets to games and decentralized exchanges (DEXs). Currently, OKX OS supports over 100 mainstream public chains, including EVM networks, UTXO chains, Bitcoin, and Solana, enabling developers to rapidly develop within different chain ecosystems.

Currently, OKX's B-end services provide programmers with open-source wallet code, one-stop solutions, multi-chain support and liquidity aggregation, Bitcoin ecosystem friendliness, industry-leading security, and proven scalability, making OKX not only an ideal choice for developers but also providing strong infrastructure support for technological innovation and ecological prosperity in the blockchain world.

3. Onchain the Future, Together

The rise of the cryptocurrency industry is a continuation of a technological revolution, and in this revolution, programmers play the most important role as pioneers and executors. From Satoshi Nakamoto writing the Bitcoin white paper, igniting the revolution of code, to countless developers contributing to blockchain technology, completing the leap from currency to applications through Ethereum, the code of programmers is not merely a combination of computer languages; it has become the core force for changing the global financial system.

According to a report by Electric Capital, in 2023, there are over 20,000 active blockchain developers worldwide. From contract protocols to underlying chain optimizations, every code submission has the potential to bring about structural changes in the industry. For example, according to DeFi Llama, as of 2023, the total value locked (TVL) in the DeFi market exceeds $50 billion, with the code for these projects contributed by the global developer community, and new protocols and improvements are released daily in open-source code repositories like GitHub. The success of DeFi validates the ability of programmers to reshape financial markets.

The 1024 Programmer's Day is an important festival to celebrate technological innovation and recognize the contributions of programmers. Through technological innovation and a profound programmer culture, OKX, on one hand, develops new product functionalities, enhances platform performance, and strengthens security to provide better services for users. On the other hand, OKX has established an open technological culture globally, not limited to internal innovation, but also encouraging employees to participate in external open-source projects, community discussions, and regularly hosting hackathons and other technical activities, as well as supporting the global programmer community through multiple channels like OKX OS, continuously driving industry progress.

As OKX advocates in the "Onchain the Future, Together!" themed TVC, it continues to work alongside global technology practitioners: Going Onchain, Build Onchain, Onchain the future, Together! Together, we create a more transparent, secure, intelligent, and clear future!
