The integration of the OKX Wallet, a leading self-custodial solution for digital assets, through its web extension on Benqi's website and product will enable users to flawlessly enter the Web3 ecosystem via OKX Wallet.

With the partnership, Benqi users can also access the OKX Wallet without leaving the Benqi website, providing a more convenient experience.
