Ledger, the French digital asset security company known for its hardware wallets, has integrated OKX DEX into its Wallet app, enabling multichain token swaps directly from a self-custodial environment. The integration provides access to OKX DEX’s liquidity aggregation from within the Ledger Wallet app, allowing users to swap tokens without interacting with external decentralized exchange interfaces. OKX DEX is a decentralized exchange aggregator within the OKX ecosystem that routes trades across multiple onchain liquidity venues, separate from the company’s centralized exchange.
Ledger said trades are routed using OKX DEX’s proprietary X-Routing technology, which aggregates liquidity across hundreds of decentralized exchanges to identify efficient execution paths. Transactions remain signed on the user’s Ledger device, with private keys never leaving the hardware wallet. A spokesperson for Ledger told Cointelegraph that access to the OKX DEX integration is rolling out gradually, starting with availability for about 20% of Ledger Wallet users beginning today, with no device firmware or app update required.
At launch, swaps are supported on Ethereum (ETH), Arbitrum (ARB), Optimism (OP), Base (BASE), Polygon (POL) and BNB Chain (BNB), with no cross-chain or cross-seed swaps enabled. The integration follows reports in January that Ledger is exploring a US initial public offering that could value the company at more than $4 billion, with Goldman Sachs, Jefferies and Barclays involved in early discussions.
