OKX Wallet has announced enhancements to Boost, its incentive program for decentralized trading. Starting November 3, 2025, the platform will adjust its program’s calculation rules, seeking to optimize user participation in decentralized exchanges (DEXs).
The most notable change is the introduction of an additional 20% bonus on Boost transaction volume for users trading specific token pairs within the “OKX Boost” section.
At the same time, the platform will adjust multipliers downward. Those token pairs that previously enjoyed a 1X multiplier will see this value reduced to 0.85X. Furthermore, the rewards calculation period will be reduced, going from 15 to 10 days.
OKX Wallet stated that it remains optimistic about the on-chain economy and that these changes seek to create a “fair, transparent, and sustainable decentralized trading ecosystem.”
Market Impact and BOOST Token Reaction
The initial market reaction to the OKX Wallet Boost update has been notable. Following the announcement, the BOOST token registered a 4.57% drop, reflecting traders’ adaptation to the new rules, especially the reduction in multipliers, which could affect yield farming strategies.
This is not the first time the program’s adjustments have influenced the market; the last update in September 2025 caused a notable short-term increase in DEX volume, demonstrating the influence of these incentives on trading patterns. Sector analysts note that this divergence in trading incentives accelerates the competitive dynamics within the DEX market.
Traders will now need to strategically realign their trading volumes to optimize rewards under the new 0.85X scheme, which could affect overall market liquidity in the affected pairs.
Although key OKX executives have not made official comments, the company reaffirmed its commitment to advancing decentralized finance (DeFi) through these strategic enhancements.
