OKX Boost serves as an “outpost” for the liquidity market of the OKX main site, providing 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 explore more quality project opportunities and trends in the Web3 market.

In June, despite the overall market pressure, OKX Boost continued to maintain its position in discovering high-quality innovative projects, with a significant increase in the average prize pool size per period, and further deepening the collaboration with RWA and AI infrastructure. Specific observations are as follows:

1. Scale of Participation: Total Prize Pool Reached 4.77 Million USD, Average Prize Pool of Each X Launch Increased by 48% Compared to May

In June 2026, OKX Boost launched a total of 8 activities (5 X Launchs, 1 X Stake, 2 X Campaigns). According to official data from OKX Boost and the project compilation by RootData, the details of the projects launched in June are as follows:

In June, the total prize pool of all activities in OKX Boost reached 4.77 million USD, with over 142,100 participants.

Among them, the average prize pool per period for OKX Boost X Launch significantly increased. In 5 activities, over 127,800 participants joined, and the total prize pool reached 4.12 million USD. The average number of participants per activity was about 25,600, with an average prize pool of approximately 824,000 USD, which represented a 48% increase compared to May, at around 557,000 USD per period, indicating a significant enhancement in the platform's incentive measures for quality projects. The Real World Assets Capital Layer, RE, led the June single project prize pool with an exceptional 1.97 million USD, while the FHE cryptographic computing network, Arcium, provided a 900,000 USD prize pool, both above May's average levels.

Furthermore, the format of OKX Boost activities in June was further enriched.

The second phase of X Stake was provided by Pharos with a 200K prize pool, with no staking threshold set. The staking volume increased from 25 million USD in the first phase to 40 million USD, significantly enhancing user participation depth.

Regarding X Campaign, the xStocks trading competition had a total prize pool of 300K USDC, with a total of 7.6K participating addresses, achieving a trading volume of 1.69 billion USD, capturing 70% of the market share in DEX RWA trading during the event period, creating the highest trading volume event for xStocks thus far. The xStocks trading competition, in conjunction with updates from the OKX DEX that waive transaction fees for RWA tokens, shows that OKX DEX is actively laying out in the RWA and stock markets. Additionally, the OPG trading competition had a total prize pool of 150K, attracting nearly 4K participating addresses.

2. Performance of Transparency: Over 80% of Projects Ranked in the Top 15% of Transparency by RootData

In June, the overall information disclosure level of the Boost X Launch projects was relatively high. In RootData's transparency ratings, it can be seen that more than 80% of projects had transparency exceeding that of over 85% of the projects on the platform. Among them, over 60% of projects had transparency higher than that of over 90% of the projects on the platform, with the Irys project achieving an A-level outstanding transparency, surpassing over 99% of the projects on the platform, reflecting OKX Boost's high threshold for information disclosure from project parties.

Further examining these high transparency projects' advantages, they are reflected across multiple core dimensions. The four highly transparent projects, Irys, Arcium, RE, and o1.exchange, performed balanced across the four dimensions of basic information, operational business, financial performance, and disclosure activity, often maintaining two to three indicators within the range of 40%-90%, with complete disclosures of key information such as project progress, financing background, token economics, and unlocking arrangements.

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

By the end of June, all 5 projects launched in June under X Launch successfully “graduated,” launching on OKX perpetual contracts or spot trading, achieving a graduation rate of 100%.

It should be noted that among these, the three projects Nesa, RE, and Irys had already launched OKX contracts or spot trading before participating in the Boost activities, indicating that Boost also attracted quality projects with existing liquidity on the main site to participate in community incentives.

If excluding these three projects, the newly launched contracts or spot trading projects after the activities are Arcium (ARX) and o1.exchange (O), with a new launch graduation rate of 40%. Notably, these two projects launched on the main site on the same day as the event, setting a new record for the speed of OKX Boost graduation, far faster than the 3-day graduation speed in May, indicating that OKX is continuously accelerating the launch process for quality projects.

4. Track Direction: Infrastructure and AI Account for Over 60%, RWA Deep Layout

From the distribution of OKX Boost June X Launch project tracks, projects classified as infrastructure accounted for the highest proportion, with AI + Crypto, DeFi, and RWA each accounting for 20%, showing a relatively balanced track distribution.

From the perspective of user participation, RE led June with 36,500 participating addresses, followed closely by Irys and Arcium with 32,400 and 32,300 respectively. Notably, RE, as a RWA project in the reinsurance field, attracted the highest participation with a nearly 2 million USD prize pool.

Conclusion

In June, despite the overall market pressure, OKX Boost displayed three positive new signals:

First, the single period prize pool significantly increased, with the average prize pool of X Launch jumping from 557,000 USD in May to 824,000 USD, an increase of 48%. RE led the month with a nearly 2 million USD prize pool, reflecting a significant enhancement in platform incentives, and raising the quality threshold for projects;

Second, the graduation efficiency reached a new high, with a 100% graduation rate among the 5 X Launch projects, of which Arcium (ARX) and o1.exchange (O) achieved a "zero-day graduation" by launching contracts on the day of the TGE/event, setting a new record for the speed of OKX Boost graduation, far faster than the previous fastest 3 days in May;

Third, the formats of activities continued to innovate, with the staking volume of the second phase of X Stake increasing from 25 million USD to 40 million USD, a 60% increase, and the X Campaign trading competition achieved deep interconnection across ecosystems due to the RWA zero-fee strategy.

From the perspective of project quality, 80% of the projects in X Launch had RootData transparency ratings exceeding 85% of the projects on the platform, with A+B grade projects accounting for 80%, far exceeding industry averages. The strong correlation between high transparency and support from the main site's liquidity has been further validated.

As OKX Boost continues to iterate its gameplay and deepen its focus on quality projects, it is not only an important window for users to capture early Alpha, but also evolves into a crucial perspective for observing the capital, narratives, and liquidity migration in the primary market of Web3. We will continue to track and bring the latest discoveries to our followers every month.
