Consensys, a leading Ethereum software provider, and OKX, a globally recognized onchain technology firm, have unveiled the first phase of their strategic partnership aimed at strengthening security and improving trading capabilities across the decentralized ecosystem. This initial rollout focuses on integrating advanced protection against maximum extractable value (MEV) exploitation and enhancing decentralized exchange (DEX) access.
As part of this collaboration, Consensys’ SERVO MEV protection solution has been incorporated into OKX Wallet. MEV refers to the potential value that can be captured from blockchain transactions through manipulative tactics such as front-running or sandwiching. The SERVO system is designed to reduce the likelihood of such practices, thereby promoting secure and equitable transaction experiences for users.
With this integration, OKX Wallet becomes one of the earliest major crypto wallets to implement MEV protection across both the Ethereum and Base networks. This is expected to reinforce user trust while advancing industry standards in transaction transparency and fairness.
MetaMask Gains OKX’s DEX API
Another key outcome of the partnership is the incorporation of OKX’s DEX API into the MetaMask wallet. This update enables users to access extensive aggregated liquidity drawn from over 500 decentralized exchanges. The enhancement facilitates better price discovery and minimizes slippage during token swaps, ultimately delivering a more seamless trading experience.
On the development side, OKX’s DEX API offers strong infrastructure support, boasting enterprise-level reliability with a 99.9% uptime record. Security features are robust, and developers can now integrate trading functionalities through a versatile suite of software development kits (SDKs), APIs, and customizable widgets. This expansion is seen as an enabler for platforms seeking to build or strengthen their onchain trading capabilities.

A Broader Vision for Decentralized Infrastructure
Both companies emphasized that this announcement marks the beginning of a broader strategic collaboration. Future phases are expected to introduce additional integrations across various product categories. This move reflects a shared commitment to addressing longstanding industry challenges and improving the overall user experience in decentralized finance.
Consensys has been instrumental in the growth of Ethereum since its founding in 2014 by Joseph Lubin, one of Ethereum’s co-creators. The company is known for developing foundational tools and infrastructure, such as MetaMask and Linea, and continues to contribute directly to Ethereum’s protocol development and staking framework. With ongoing research and innovation, Consensys is positioning Ethereum to act as a decentralized trust layer for a future global economy that is transparent, open, and programmable.
OKX’s Expanding Global Footprint
OKX, which serves over 60 million users worldwide, continues to gain recognition as a dependable crypto application, having handled trillions in transaction volumes. The company maintains major operational hubs, including headquarters in San José, California, for the Americas and Dubai for the Middle East, alongside offices in key markets such as New York, Hong Kong, Singapore, the Republic of Türkiye, Australia, and several locations in Europe.
Over the past few years, OKX has invested in establishing a regulatory-compliant presence across various jurisdictions. The company holds operational licenses in the United States, United Arab Emirates, European Economic Area, Singapore, Australia, and other regions. In line with its transparency pledge, OKX publishes monthly Proof of Reserves reports, underscoring its dedication to security and public accountability.
The alliance between Consensys and OKX is widely seen as a strategic step forward in advancing user protections, infrastructure reliability, and access to decentralized financial services, setting a precedent for industry-wide collaboration.
