Fact Check

All core elements of the claim are corroborated. The BlockBeats, Odaily, and PANews news flashes independently confirm the campaign ended after 104 matches with a ~$4.2M prize pool and 433,590 participants (consistent with 'more than 433,000'), and that it was OKX's first self-operated Exchange OS application on X Layer. The PANews X post confirms the Exchange OS/X Layer stress test with 173 million transactions processed and no downtime. The only nuance is that the written news flashes highlight a separate figure (136 million X Layer transactions over 30 days), while the 173 million figure comes from the campaign/Exchange OS throughput reported in the X post; these are distinct but compatible metrics from the same event.

Summary

OKX said its World Cup prediction campaign concluded with the July 19 final after spanning 104 matches, attracting 433,590 participants and distributing about $4.2 million in prizes. The exchange said the event also functioned as a live stress test for its Exchange OS and X Layer infrastructure, generating a cumulative 173 million trades, peaking at 3,716 trades in one minute, and recording no system downtime. As of July 20, OKX said X Layer processed 136,048,079 transactions over the past 30 days, with on-chain latency and block settlement frequency both below 100 milliseconds.
