OKX has teamed up with Ethereum development firm Consensys to integrate its decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregator into MetaMask, giving users access to faster, more efficient token swaps across over 500 DEXs on 25 blockchains.
This upgrade enhances MetaMask’s multichain strategy and allows trades to be executed in under 100 milliseconds with reduced slippage.
As part of the deal, OKX Wallet is also incorporating Consensys’ SERVO, a security tool designed to protect users from MEV (maximum extractable value) attacks—marking the first time SERVO has been embedded in an external platform. Consensys says this reflects a growing focus on user safety as decentralized trading gains momentum.
The announcement comes amid rising onchain activity and follows OKX’s recent move to boost DEX security after halting its aggregator due to attempted misuse by North Korea’s Lazarus Group. New safeguards now include real-time blocking of suspicious addresses and enhanced transaction monitoring.
With this partnership, both companies are pushing toward a decentralized future where trading is faster, safer, and more accessible across platforms.
