OKX DEX
OKX DEX is the swap aggregator inside OKX Wallet. It charges an interface fee of 0% to 0.5% depending on which token groups are in the pair.
Cost: Interface fee is 0% to 0.5% depending on token groups. Group 1 to Group 1 pays 0.1%, pairs involving Group 2 pay 0.25%, and Group 1 or 2 to other tokens pays 0.5%. Other-to-other pairs pay 0%. Referral links give an unspecified discount.
Sign-up perk: Interface fee discount of 0-10% set by the inviter (one section says up to 20%).

How DEX fees work: instead of a platform fee, each swap pays the fee of the pool it routes through (listed above where published). The interface itself may add its own fee.
Platform fees only. On-chain network/priority fees, pool (LP) fees and price impact are extra and vary by trade.

In-app terms (updated 2026-10-14) define restricted locations as places where OKX does not offer the services, naming Bangladesh, Bolivia, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria and the Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk regions, plus sanctioned jurisdictions. The US, UK and EU appear only as sanctions authorities, but the terms do not confirm the DEX is offered there, so all three stay unknown. (source)
