What Is OKX (DEX) in Gem Wallet?

What Is OKX (DEX)?​

OKX (DEX) is the decentralized exchange aggregator from OKX Wallet. It compares liquidity across many DEXs and routes your swap through the best path. Gem Wallet uses it for same-chain swaps. You don't need an OKX account, and your funds never go to the OKX exchange.

You don't select OKX (DEX) yourself. When you swap, Gem Wallet compares quotes from all supported swap providers and shows OKX (DEX) when it offers a route for your pair. The provider is shown on the swap screen before you confirm.

Supported Networks​

Gem Wallet uses OKX (DEX) for same-chain swaps on: Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Avalanche C-Chain, Linea, zkSync, Blast, Manta, Mantle, Monad, Plasma, Sonic, Unichain, X Layer, HyperEVM, Robinhood Chain, Solana, and TRON.

Both assets must be on the same network. To move assets between networks, Gem Wallet uses a cross-chain provider.

note

A pair only appears when the provider returns a live quote for it. Liquidity, amount limits, and route availability can change at any time.

If a OKX (DEX) Swap Fails​

A OKX (DEX) swap is a single transaction on the selected network, so it either completes or fails as a whole. If it fails, the assets you were swapping stay in your wallet, but the network fee is still spent.

Common causes are a price move larger than your slippage setting, low liquidity for the pair, or not enough of the network's coin for the fee. See Why Was My Crypto Transaction Reverted? and What to Do When No Swap Quote Is Available.

Need Help With a Swap?​

Contact Gem Wallet support from Settings > Support in the app, and include the transaction ID of your swap. Before you share anything, read What Information Is Safe to Give Wallet Support?.

warning

Gem Wallet support will never send you a direct message first, ask for your Secret Phrase or private key, or ask you to send funds to "fix" a swap. Anyone who does is a scammer.
