FAQ
How is Boost trading volume calculated, and why does it differ from my DEX trading volume?
To more accurately reflect genuine trading behavior and prevent wash trading or arbitrage, different token trading pairs are grouped and assigned specific multipliers. For more details, refer to Boost Calculation Rules.
Statistics scope:
Only transactions on Solana and EVM-compatible networks via the OKX DEX aggregator are counted;
Bridge, CEX, and third-party DEX transactions are not included (for example, choosing the Uniswap route on OKX DEX);
Invalid trading pairs are not counted;
API trading is not counted.
Calculation example:
Exchange ETH (Category 1 token) for DOGE (Category 2 token)
Transaction amount: $2,000
Applicable multiplier: 0.25
Boost trading volume = $2,000 × 0.25 = $500
Exchange SOL (Category 1 token) for a meme token (Other category)
Transaction amount: $3,000
Applicable multiplier: 0.85
Boost trading volume = $3,000 × 0.85 = $2,550
Exchange USDT (Category 1 token) for USDC (Category 1 token)
Transaction amount: $5,000
Applicable multiplier: 0
Boost trading volume = $5,000 × 0 = $0
Why hasn’t my Boost trading volume updated after today’s transactions?
This may occur if:
the trading pair doesn’t meet the statistical criteria,
the trading network isn’t supported, or
the data hasn’t been refreshed yet.
Boost data is collected from 00:00 to 23:59 UTC and is usually generated after 00:00 UTC the following day, with an additional 1–2 hours required for processing.
If you’re in the UTC+8 time zone, data is typically generated around 08:00, and you’re advised to check after 10:00.
Why doesn’t my Boost balance show historical holdings?
Boost balance only tracks historical holdings of addresses within OKX Wallet. If your address was originally created in another wallet (for example, MetaMask), historical holdings before importing it into OKX Wallet can’t be retrieved. Only holdings after import will be tracked.
Why is my Boost balance 0 even though I have assets on the Exchange? Can I transfer them to Boost?
Boost isn’t a standalone account, so assets can’t be “transferred to Boost.” Boost balance only counts assets held in your OKX Wallet (Web3 wallet). Assets in your OKX Exchange account aren’t included.
To increase your Boost balance, you can:
withdraw assets from the Exchange to your OKX Wallet, and
hold tokens that meet the statistical requirements.
Boost balance is calculated based on the average daily holdings over the past 10 days and updated the following day.
Will my Boost trading volume or Boost balance be consumed?
No. Boost trading volume and balance are only used to determine activity eligibility and will not be deducted or consumed.
How does the platform handle suspicious trading activity?
To ensure fairness, our team will review trading volume and asset holdings. If abnormal volume manipulation or false reporting is detected, the platform may exclude the relevant data, cancel eligibility, or revoke rewards in accordance with event rules and applicable regulations. OKX reserves the right to final interpretation.
Can I use another wallet to participate in Boost activities?
You can only participate in X Launch through OKX Wallet. If you’d like to use another wallet, you can import it into OKX Wallet. After import, the wallet balance will take effect immediately, and eligible trading volume may be counted based on historical data.
Currently, X Launch supports only EVM and Solana (SOL) networks:
Single-chain wallets using private keys from unsupported networks can’t participate.
For single-chain wallets using EVM or SOL private keys, trading volume and balance may be counted. However, if the wallet doesn’t match the network specified for the event, you still won’t be able to participate.
Why doesn’t the trading volume shown in my Boost data match my daily transaction amount?
This is because Boost data is calculated as an average over the past 10 days, rather than showing only the current day's transactions.
Boost trading volume: Reflects your average trading volume over the past 10 days on OKX DEX across Solana and EVM-compatible networks, calculated by trading pair.
Boost balance: Reflects your average daily balance of eligible Category 1 tokens held in OKX Wallet over the past 10 days.
Example:
If you traded $100 and $200 for only 2 out of the past 10 days, your Boost trading volume would be:
($100 + $200) ÷ 10 = $30
