Announcing OKX’s "Chain Split Token" Scheme

·

Dear Valued Customers,

Since the activation of Bitcoin Cash, the Bitcoin developer community has persistently enhanced the Bitcoin network. Forecasts indicate up to seven Bitcoin hard forks occurring in December.

At OKX, we reaffirm our commitment to advancing Bitcoin adoption and delivering exceptional services. We support all major Bitcoin technical development roadmaps and honor our customers’ preferences.

To streamline user experience during hard forks, OKX introduces the "Chain Split Token" scheme, outlined below:

Scheme Details

  1. Account Snapshot

    • OKX will capture user account balances during each BTC hard fork (at the predetermined block height), provided the fork implements replay protection and proper chain splitting.

  2. Token Withdrawals

    • Withdrawals of hard fork tokens will be enabled once:

      • OKX’s wallet is operational.
      • The fork’s blockchain safeguards against replay attacks.
    • Users retain full autonomy over their hard fork tokens.

  3. Trading Eligibility

    • Listing hard fork tokens for trading depends on market viability and liquidity assessments.

  4. Token Distribution

    • Tokens are allocated proportionally based on BTC balances during snapshots:

      • Spot Accounts: BTC balance.
      • C2C Accounts: Available BTC balance.
      • Futures Accounts: Account equity (Margin + Realized P&L + Unrealized P&L).

  5. Exclusions

    • Forks excluding proportional token distribution to BTC holders are unsupported.
    • Due to security protocols, OKX’s cold wallet limits frequent transfers. Customers seeking such tokens must migrate BTC to external platforms.

Risk Advisory

👉 Digital assets carry inherent risks. Traders should comprehensively evaluate risks before engagement.

OKX remains dedicated to optimizing platform security and user-centric services.

FAQs

1. What is replay protection?

Replay protection ensures transactions on one blockchain cannot be duplicated on another during a fork, safeguarding user assets.

2. How does OKX determine which forks to support?

OKX evaluates forks based on technical robustness (e.g., replay protection), community consensus, and market demand.

3. Can I trade hard fork tokens immediately after distribution?

Trading availability depends on OKX’s market review. Users will be notified via official channels once trading commences.

4. Why doesn’t OKX support all forks?

Forks lacking proportional distribution or security measures may endanger user assets or disrupt network stability.

5. How are futures account balances calculated for snapshots?

Account equity (Margin + Realized/Unrealized P&L) determines token allocation, reflecting the total value at snapshot time.

OKX’s Chain Split Token initiative underscores our mission to simplify blockchain transitions while prioritizing user security.
