OKX said its upgrades to the re-launched DEX aggregator include measures to identify suspicious or fraudulent onchain activity from hackers and other bad actors.
Crypto exchange OKX has brought its decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregator back online with new security upgrades after it was paused in March to prevent further misuse by the North Korean hacking crew, the Lazarus Group.
OKX founder and CEO Star Xu said in a May 4 statement to X that the DEX aggregator, OKX Web3, will resume with several new features, including a “real-time abuse detecting and blocking system.”
A DEX aggregator is a service that pulls data from multiple decentralized exchanges and market makers and then presents it to users to assist with trading. Xu says, “OKX Web3 is a browser and search engine for blockchain.”
