OKExChain is designed to establish a safe and efficient decentralized-finance architecture that can be used to create a decentralized exchange. It features community-based operations, transparent trading rules, and gives users control over their assets.

In this guide, we walk you through how you can add OKExChain network to MetaMask wallet

What is OKExchain & MetaMask?

OKExChain is an independent blockchain built by OKEx crypto exchange which uses the Cosmos SDK framework. It relies on Tendermint Proof-of-Stake (PoS) for network security. OKEx's long-term goal for OKExChain is to serve as an exchange-backed smart contract platform. OKT is the native token for OKExChain which gives voting rights and a claim on staking rewards to validators and delegators.

MetaMask on the other hand is one of the most widely-used Wallets. You can send, receive, and manage tokens and cryptocurrencies from Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, and other blockchains. With MetaMask, you can store NFTs, crypto art, and other crypto collectibles. Its browser extension is compatible with Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Brave.
