🤯 71,400 Addresses?! You Won’t Believe This!

by

Right, so apparently something interesting happened on September 12th. Not a major geopolitical event, sadly, but something arguably equally thrilling (to a very specific type of person). OKX’s blockchain, which they’ve cleverly – or perhaps a little unimaginatively – called X Layer, managed to attract 71,400 active addresses. 71,400! That’s… a lot of addresses. Honestly, it’s the sort of number that makes you wonder if someone accidentally left a spreadsheet open to the public. 🙄

And it doesn’t stop there. They’ve now amassed over 4 million addresses in total. Four *million*! Which begs the question, are these all real people, or just a highly organised collection of bots desperately trying to buy digital kittens? 🤔 We may never know.

The real kicker, though, is the money. X Layer has somehow generated almost $1 million in fees for the OKX DEX. A million dollars! Which is, to put it in perspective, approximately the cost of a really, really nice sandwich. Or maybe several. It does, apparently, make it the second-highest fee earner among what are called “EVM networks” – a term that sounds suspiciously like something out of a science fiction novel – after something called BNB Chain. Honestly, it’s just a lot of letters and numbers, isn’t it? 🤷
