OKX Wallet Announces Integration with Runes Bridge
OKX Wallet is now integrated with Runes Bridge. This integration provides users with a robust and fortified bridge mechanism for seamlessly transferring assets based on the Runes standard from Bitcoin to other networks including Ethereum, Arbitrum, BNB Chain, Polygon, and vice versa.
To access Runes Bridge, users simply need to download the OKX Wallet web extension, available on Chrome and Firefox, create or add an existing OKX Wallet, and connect it to Runes Bridge via the web extension.
In a time characterized by the proliferation of digital tokens, Runes stands out due to its unique UTXO-based structure. This inscription standard has been integrated into the Bitcoin network, simplifying the creation and management of tokens. It offers a streamlined alternative to traditional models, reducing blockchain bloat and significantly improving scalability.
