OKX Boost July Observation: Incentives of nearly 2 million dollars, fully empowering the X Layer ecosystem, with over 70% of projects ranking in the top 10% of transparency according to RootData

Author: RootData

OKX Boost, as the "outpost" of the OKX main site liquidity market, provides a highly transparent participation channel for ordinary users to capture quality projects. Therefore, RootData continuously tracks the monthly dynamics of OKX Boost to help users uncover more quality project opportunities and trends in the Web3 market.

In July, despite the overall market conditions remaining sluggish, OKX Boost continued to maintain its position in discovering high-quality innovative projects. The X Launch top project prize pool remained high, and the X Stake staking volume also surpassed $50 million. Specific observations are as follows:

1. Participation Scale and Prize Pool: Nearly $2 million in incentives distributed, X Stake staking volume exceeds $50 million

In July 2026, OKX Boost launched a total of 8 activities (4 X Launch, 3 X Campaign, and 1 X Stake). According to the official data compiled by OKX Boost, the details of the projects launched in July are as follows:

The total number of participating addresses in all activities in July was approximately 102,000, with a total prize pool of $1.908 million. Although the market was generally sluggish, the overall activity participation and project quality remained at a high level.

On one hand, the X Launch top project prize pool remained high. Both AEON and CAP project prize pools exceeded $400,000, together accounting for over 65% of the total X Launch prize pool. AI Agent settlement and RWA credit and other real-use case directions remain the core tracks of market attention.

On the other hand, the X Stake staking volume steadily climbed. Although the AIW3 X Stake activity is still ongoing, it has attracted 24,400 addresses to participate, with staking volume surpassing $50 million, a 25% increase from the $40 million in June's Pharos X Stake, and doubling from the $25 million in May's inaugural Real Finance, indicating that the user acceptance and capital retention capability of the X Stake mechanism continue to improve.

Additionally, X Campaign is deeply inclined towards the X Layer ecosystem, fully empowering the X Layer ecosystem. In July, two X Layer chain-exclusive trading competitions were launched, namely the mainstream coin trading competition and the RWA token trading competition, with prize pools of $100,000 and $50,000, respectively, incentivizing trading of mainstream assets and RWA tokens on the X Layer chain.

Moreover, according to the official announcement from OKX Wallet, the share of X Layer in the StocksFi total chain trading volume has surpassed 80%, maintaining the lead for two consecutive weeks, indicating that Boost's empowerment of X Layer is beginning to show results. Combined with the implementation of the June xStocks trading competition, which provided a $300,000 prize pool and attracted 7.6K addresses, contributing $169 million in trading volume, it can be seen that Boost is continuously becoming an important lever for OKX to promote the landing of the X Layer ecosystem and RWA strategy.

2. Transparency Performance: Over 70% of projects rank in the top 10% of RootData

Among the 4 X Launch projects in July, 3 projects ranked in the top 10% of RootData's platform in terms of transparency, accounting for 75%. These projects performed well across dimensions such as basic information, operational business, financial performance, and disclosure activity, with key information such as project progress, financing background, token economics, and unlocking arrangements fully disclosed.

Among them, GRVT's transparency ranked in the top 4% of the platform, showing the most outstanding performance. Arcium II, as the second phase of the MPC cryptographic computing network, continued the high information disclosure standard of the Arcium project, ranking in the top 6% of the platform.

Compared to May and June, the concentration of X Launch projects in the high transparency range was higher in July. In May, the proportion of projects in the top 10% of the platform was 20%, in June it was 75%, and in July it remained at 75%, maintaining a high level above 70% for two consecutive months, reflecting that OKX Boost's standards for project information disclosure continue to be strict.

3. Graduation Rate Reaches 100%, Fastest Projects Launched on OKX Main Site the Same Day

Among the 4 X Launch projects launched in July, all 4 projects were listed on the OKX main site, achieving a graduation rate of 100%.

It should be noted that among these, the four projects CAP, Arcium II, AEON, and GRVT were all already listed on OKX contracts or spot markets before participating in the Boost activities, further confirming that Boost's positioning as a community incentive for quality projects and user growth is continuously strengthening.

From a trend perspective, the coverage rate of X Launch projects on the main site was 40% in May, increased to 100% in June, and maintained this momentum in July, achieving a 100% graduation rate for two consecutive months. This reflects that OKX Boost's attractiveness to quality projects with existing main site liquidity is increasing.

In terms of transparency performance, among the 4 projects listed on the main site, 3 ranked in the top 10% of RootData's platform, accounting for 75%. The strong correlation between high transparency and main site liquidity support continues to be validated, and transparency has become an important accelerator for projects transitioning from Boost to the main site.

4. Track Trends: RWA and Agent Economic Infrastructure Each Account for Half

From the distribution of project activity tracks in July by OKX Boost, RWA and Agent economic infrastructure each account for 50%, with a clear parallel structure of the two main lines.

In terms of user participation, CAP, as an RWA project in the credit insurance field, attracted the highest user participation with a prize pool of $427,000. This echoes the performance of June's RE leading participation in the reinsurance RWA track with a prize pool of nearly $2 million, showing that RWA projects demonstrate sustained competitiveness in attracting user participation.

In the Agent economic infrastructure layer, three projects support the development of the Agent economy from different dimensions. AEON, as an AI Agent settlement protocol, leads the July X Launch with a prize pool of $431,000; AIW3 integrates on-chain trading closed loops through a multi-agent system, with X Stake staking volume surpassing $50 million; Arcium II provides underlying privacy computing capabilities for AI applications. The three projects approach from the settlement layer, execution layer, and computing layer, reflecting that the AI narrative is expanding from the application layer to the infrastructure layer.

Conclusion

In July, OKX Boost maintained its ability to discover high-quality projects and continuously promote ecological synergy against the backdrop of overall market pressure:

First, the top project prize pool remained high. Both AEON and CAP prize pools exceeded $400,000, and AI Agent settlement and RWA credit and other real-use case directions remain the core tracks of market attention, with project quality thresholds not lowered due to market downturns.

Second, X Stake capital retention continues to rise. AIW3 X Stake staking volume surpassed $50 million, a 25% increase from June and doubling from May's inaugural phase, indicating that user participation depth and capital stickiness in staking gameplay are continuously strengthening.

Third, graduation efficiency remains at a high level. The coverage rate of the 4 X Launch projects on the main site reached 100%, with GRVT launching contracts and spot markets on the same day as Boost's initiation, achieving a graduation time that matched the fastest record set by June's Arcium and o1.exchange, indicating that OKX's efficiency in listing quality projects and Boost's collaboration has entered a "daily-level" response phase.

Fourth, the synergy between Boost and X Layer is accelerating. From the June xStocks trading competition to the July two X Layer exclusive trading competitions, X Layer's share in the StocksFi total chain trading volume has surpassed 80%, maintaining the lead for two consecutive weeks. Boost is becoming a key engine driving the landing of the X Layer ecosystem and RWA strategy with a combination of "trading incentives + DE X products."

In terms of project quality, over 70% of projects in X Launch rank in the top 10% of RootData, maintaining a high level for two consecutive months, with the strong correlation between high transparency and main site liquidity support continuously validated.

As OKX Boost continues to deepen its efforts in the three major activity matrices of X Launch, X Stake, and X Campaign, as well as its key layout in tracks such as RWA and Agent economic infrastructure, it not only serves as an important window for users to capture early quality projects but also becomes an important reference for observing trends in the Web3 primary market. We will continue to track and bring the latest discoveries to our followers every month.
