Swell has announced an expanded partnership with OKX to accelerate the development of its newly launched Layer 2 (L2) network while integrating restaking capabilities on OKX's native L2 solution. This strategic alliance aims to unlock new opportunities within the liquid restaking ecosystem.
Synergizing Swell's Restaked Rollup with OKX's L2
The collaboration leverages Polygon's CDK framework, enabling seamless interoperability between Swell’s restaked rollup and OKX’s L2. Both networks will connect via Polygon’s AggLayer, fostering a unified ecosystem of ZK-powered L2s. Key deliverables include:
Native Restaking for OKX’s Liquid Staking Tokens (LST)
- Integration with Swell’s rswETH will allow OKX L2 users to restake OKX LSTs directly.
- Participants earn dual rewards (via OKX Wallet and L2) while enhancing capital efficiency.
Enhanced Accessibility for Swell L2
- OKLink Block Explorer and OKX Wallet will natively support Swell L2.
- Over 50 million OKX users gain streamlined access to restaking features.

Pre-Deposits on OKX Web3 Wallet
- rswETH and other liquid staking tokens will be available for pre-deposits on OKX Web3 Wallet (mainnet and L2).
- Exclusive incentives for OKB token holders to encourage early adoption.
Industry Perspectives on the Collaboration
Daniel Dizon, Founder of Swell, emphasized:
"This partnership aligns with Ethereum’s post-Dencun upgrade momentum, where L2 activity surges due to reduced transaction costs. Swell and OKX are poised to lead this growth."
Jack Melnick, Head of DeFi at Polygon Labs, added:
"Polygon’s CDK and zkEVM stack empower Swell and OKX to pioneer interoperable, high-utility L2 solutions."
