We're excited to introduce the **new OKX Wallet App**, now available on the **App Store** and **Google Play**. After extensive deliberation, we decided to separate our **DeFi wallet** from the primary OKX App to enhance usability and accessibility.

Background on the OKX Wallet Experiment
---------------------------------------

Three years ago, OKX Wallet was introduced as an integrated feature within our main app, offering users the flexibility to switch between **centralized exchange** and **self-custody** modes. Initially an experiment, the wallet has since grown exponentially:

*   **500,000+ new wallets** created daily
    
*   **$1 billion** in daily transactions processed
    
*   **$44.5 billion** in self-custodied crypto assets
    
*   Support for **130+ blockchains**
    

The rapid adoption highlighted the need for a **standalone app** to improve discoverability, especially for newcomers unfamiliar with self-custody wallets.
