What is OKB?

OKB is the exchange's own token issued by the OK Blockchain Foundation, accepted by OKEx as its global service token. OKB holders can enjoy several benefits from discounts on commissions and voting rights, to rewards and gifts. 

Initially, it runs under the ERC-20 protocol standard, and later transferred to its own public blockchain called OKChain. OKB is accepted on the OKEx cryptocurrency exchange and has become an important part of OKEx's architecture and development. Thanks to the mutually complementary relationship, OKB is used not only on the OKEx platform, but also in other related projects in which it is invested.
