Mayan Expands Cross-Chain Trading Inside OKX DEX

OKX Ttitle Card

OKX Brings Crypto Into One Product

OKX DEX is one of the largest onchain trading products in crypto. The OKX API aggregates liquidity across 500+ DEXs on EVM and non-EVM chains, and it powers two products users touch directly: OKX DEX, a trading interface, and OKX Wallet.

Mayan is a routing source inside that API. When a swap needs to cross chains, Mayan is one of the paths the API can select, which puts Mayan execution behind both OKX DEX and OKX Wallet from a single integration.

What Mayan Unlocks

Cross-chain trading is only useful when it gets the user all the way to the token they want.

Mayan gives the OKX DEX API a fast, competitive way to move value across chains, turning a user’s starting asset into the destination asset in one swap. A user can start on one chain, end on another, reach tokens across Solana, EVM chains, and other supported chains, and complete more trades from inside OKX DEX and OKX Wallet.

For OKX, this expands the trading surface. More chains can be reached, more assets can be traded, and more user actions can be completed.

How It Works

In OKX DEX or OKX Wallet, a user chooses the asset they have and the asset they want to receive.

The OKX DEX API brings the routes together and selects the best one.

When that route crosses chains, Mayan gives OKX a fast, competitive path, carrying the user from the starting asset to the destination asset.

The user receives the token they wanted, on the chain where they can use it. OKX keeps more trading activity inside its product. Mayan handles the cross-chain execution underneath.

The Impact

Since going live in the OKX DEX API, Mayan has powered:

  • $370M+ in volume

  • 560K+ swaps

  • 220K+ wallets

OKX by the numbers

Those numbers matter because the OKX DEX API is a competitive routing environment. It aggregates hundreds of DEXs and compares routes on every request, so every Mayan-powered swap has to earn its place.

Mayan has proven it can win meaningful volume inside one of crypto’s largest trading surfaces.

Under the Hood

Mayan gives the OKX DEX API the cross-chain layer behind those swaps:

  • Swaps across Solana, EVM chains, and other supported chains

  • Fast settlement for trades that need to happen now

  • Competitive pricing through solver auctions

  • Support for many token and chain combinations

  • Built-in fees for integrators, settled onchain automatically

For OKX, Mayan expands what OKX DEX and OKX Wallet can complete.

For users, the experience stays simple: choose the asset, confirm the swap, receive what you wanted.

OKX UI

The Bigger Picture

OKX shows how Mayan can make a product more capable.

  • A wallet can support swaps across more chains

  • A trading app can reach users beyond its default chain

  • An onramp can turn funding into the token a user needs

  • A DeFi product can accept deposits from wherever users hold assets

Every app has users whose funds start somewhere else. Mayan gives builders a way to bring those users into the action, without asking them to solve the cross-chain step themselves.
