Play the game correctly, or get left behind.

1. Volume Boost (Where Everyone Sweats)

OKX doesn’t reward raw volume.
They reward optimized volume based on what you trade.

Token Groups

  • 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

Volume Multipliers (the real meta)

Pair

Multiplier

Group 1 ↔️ Group 2

0.25×

Group 2 ↔️ Group 2

0.25×

Group 1 ↔️ Others

0.85×

Group 2 ↔️ Others

0.85×

Group 1 ↔️ Group 1

Excluded

Others ↔️ Others

Excluded

Boost Token Bonus:
Your final multiplier × 1.2

Example

$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.

2. Balance Boost (The Passive Multiplier)

Balance Boost = daily average balance of eligible Group 1 + Group 2 assets in your OKX Web3 wallet.

If it’s not inside OKX Web3 → it doesn’t count.

Not included

  • DeFi positions

  • NFTs

  • “Others” group

  • Funds outside OKX Web3 wallet

    Example

    Holding $2,400 USDT for one hour →
    2,400 ÷ 24 = $100 Balance Boost

    It’s free points if you keep assets parked here.

    3. Why Boost Matters

    Boost Volume = real activity.
    Boost Balance = real commitment.
    Together they build on-chain reputation, which directly affects:

    • X Launch eligibility

    • allocation size

    • overall priority in OKX campaigns

    Wallets with no Boost footprint get nothing.
