OKX announced an AI-focused OnchainOS upgrade and presented new infrastructure for autonomous cryptocurrency trading agents, CoinDesk reported on March 3.
The OKX AI layer integrates wallet infrastructure, liquidity routing and on-chain data feeds to provide a single execution framework for AI agents that operate across chains.
In the past, developers had to manually set up price feeds, token approvals, gas cost estimates and swap routing. Now they can connect AI agents and issue advanced commands such as "swap ETH into USDC below a certain price". OnchainOS automatically handles everything from market monitoring to securing liquidity and confirming settlement.
OKX said OnchainOS supports more than 60 blockchain networks and more than 500 decentralised exchanges, and is already handling 1.2 billion API calls a day and $300 million in trades. The AI layer can be accessed through natural language-based "AI skills", a Model Context Protocol for coding agents, and a REST API.
