OKX doesn’t reward raw volume.
They reward optimized volume based on what you trade.
Group 1: majors, LSTs, stablecoins
Group 2: UNI, DOGE, other big caps
Others: everything else
Boost Tokens: featured assets that give +20% extra Boost Volume

Boost Token Bonus:
Your final multiplier × 1.2
$3,000 swap (Group 1 ↔️ Others) using a Boost Token →
3,000 × 0.85 × 1.2 = $3,060 Boost Volume
If you’re swapping stable ↔️ stable or random ↔️ random, Boost Volume = 0.
Use the right groups or you waste gas for nothing.
