Anyone active in the on-chain primary market will have noticed the quiet trading conditions over the past few weeks, yet despite this backdrop the X Layer public chain—launched by OKX—managed to ignite sentiment and trigger a new wave of FOMO. As excitement built meme tokens began emerging one after another on X Layer, with several “golden dogs”, each a successful token with a dog-themed name, making impressive runs. $DOGSHIT and $XDOG stood out as the most prominent examples, and with the added exposure from OKX Boost all eyes are looking towards what might come out of X Layer next.
X Layer is a zero-knowledge proof-based, EVM-compatible Layer-2 network developed by OKX in collaboration with Polygon. After an upgrade in August this year, its TPS reached 5,000, gas fees became nearly zero, and it achieved full compatibility with Ethereum. OKX’s ecosystem applications—including its exchange, wallet, and payment services—are fully integrated, with OKB serving as the chain’s gas token.
Coupled with the capital impact of OKB’s large-scale token burn, X Layer is gaining traction both technically and narratively, quickly becoming an industry focus.
The meme sector on X Layer was the first to absorb momentum:
It’s worth highlighting that OKX recently launched the OKX Boost campaign, which effectively connects real users with new projects through trading incentives, task rewards, and competitions.
For meme projects, this means more tokens can gain early visibility and liquidity support. Simply put, $DOGSHIT and $XDOG are only the beginning—with Boost, more golden dogs will emerge on X Layer.
X Layer’s explosion in popularity is essentially the result of two combined forces: OKB’s value narrative and meme-driven speculative sentiment. The performance of $DOGSHIT and $XDOG highlights the wealth effect of early participation. However, meme tokens remain a high-risk, high-volatility game. For the average investor, a smarter strategy may be entering small positions and leveraging professional platforms.
The market continues to repeat history: when code replaces value, and consensus turns into gameplay, each meme token’s price chart reflects a microcosm of human psychology and capital interplay.
