The decentralized world is evolving at an unprecedented pace. From last year’s “DeFi Summer” to this year’s “NFT Summer,” blockchain-based ecosystems have seen explosive growth and significant wealth creation opportunities.
However, as users engage across multiple blockchain networks, their digital assets often become fragmented, making management and visibility increasingly difficult. At the same time, the surge in NFT popularity has raised the barrier to entry—many newcomers are deterred by high gas fees and complex technical requirements.
Is there a unified gateway that allows users to enter the decentralized world with low friction while efficiently managing their assets?
Yes—and MetaX is designed exactly for that purpose.
MetaX delivers a comprehensive, powerful, one-stop solution for users participating in the decentralized ecosystem. It enables seamless interaction with DeFi protocols, NFTs, and DApps across chains, all from a single interface.
Integrated within the OKX ecosystem, MetaX offers three core features:
- Asset Dashboard: Track multi-chain, multi-wallet holdings including tokens and NFTs across Ethereum, OKC, and more.
- NFT Marketplace: A full-featured platform for buying, selling, and creating NFTs on primary and secondary markets.
- Discover Page: Explore trending DApps, blockchain games, and DeFi projects.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to use the MetaX NFT Marketplace on OKX—from purchasing your first NFT to minting and listing your own digital collectibles.
How to Buy NFTs on the MetaX Marketplace
The MetaX NFT market supports trading of NFTs on both Ethereum and OKC (OKX Chain), offering users access to a wide range of digital art, collectibles, and utility-based tokens.
👉 Discover trending NFTs and start collecting today
To begin:
- Log in to your OKX account.
- Click on MetaX in the top navigation bar.
- Select NFT Market > Market.
- Browse available NFT collections or use the search function to find specific items.
When viewing an NFT listing, you’ll encounter two possible purchase options:
Option 1: Direct Purchase ("Buy Now")
If the seller has set a fixed price, you'll see a [Buy] button.
- Confirm your wallet connection if prompted.
- Review the price and click Buy.
- Complete the transaction via your connected wallet (e.g., MetaMask or OKX Wallet).
- Once confirmed on-chain, the NFT will appear in your portfolio.
Option 2: Place a Bid ("Make Offer")
If no fixed price is listed—or you want to negotiate—you can place a bid.
- Click [Bid].
Enter:
- The quantity of NFTs (if multiple available)
- Your desired unit price
- Bid expiration time
- Submit your offer.
Your bid remains active until:
- The seller accepts it → You acquire the NFT.
- The expiration time passes → Your bid is automatically canceled.
- Another buyer purchases at the listed price → Your bid is invalidated.
You can monitor all active bids under:
Orders > Bid List > My Bids
Cancel any pending bid with a single click if you change your mind.
Note:
- Transactions require WETH (Wrapped ETH) instead of native ETH due to smart contract compatibility (EIP-10 standard).
- Gas fees vary based on network congestion—always check current rates before confirming.
How to Create Your Own NFT
Minting your own NFT has never been easier. Whether you're an artist, creator, or enthusiast, MetaX allows you to tokenize digital content in minutes.
- Navigate to MetaX > NFT Market > Trending > Create NFT.
- Upload your file (image, video, audio, etc.).
Fill in:
- Title
- Description
- Royalty percentage (earn a cut on every future resale)
- Click Create.
You'll then be prompted to pay a one-time minting fee (gas-dependent). After confirmation:
✅ Your NFT is live on the blockchain
✅ It appears under Asset Dashboard > NFTs
Now you can choose to keep it, gift it, or list it for sale.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What blockchains does MetaX support?
MetaX currently supports Ethereum and OKX Chain (OKC) for NFT trading and minting. Cross-chain compatibility ensures broader accessibility and lower transaction costs on OKC.
Q2: Why do I need WETH instead of ETH?
Smart contracts on most NFT platforms require ERC-20 compatible tokens. Since native ETH isn’t ERC-20 compliant, it must be wrapped into WETH for seamless transactions.
Q3: Are there hidden fees when buying or selling?
No hidden charges exist beyond:
- Gas fees (paid to miners/validators)
- Royalties (go directly to creators)
- Platform fees (if any, clearly disclosed)
All costs are transparent during transaction review.
Q4: Can I buy fractional shares of an NFT?
Currently, MetaX does not support fractional ownership. Each transaction involves full ownership transfer of an individual NFT.
Q5: How do royalties work for creators?
When minting an NFT, you can set a royalty rate (e.g., 5%). Every time your work is resold on the secondary market, you automatically receive that percentage as passive income.
Q6: Is my wallet secure when connected?
Yes—MetaX never takes custody of your funds or private keys. Wallet connections are read-only unless you approve a transaction. Always verify dApp permissions carefully.
