It's worth noting that the total reward and feeless transaction count reset daily at 4:00 pm UTC.To qualify for this campaign, participants must hold a minimum of 10 USDC in their wallet, with unofficially released assets like USDC.e not factored into the total assets.Each transaction is eligible for a maximum waiver of 5 USDC. The transaction will not qualify for a fee waiver if the network fee exceeds this limit.&nbsp;In cases where the daily limit for waived fees is reached, feeless transactions will temporarily pause. Significantly, this pause will not impact the wallet's ability to conduct feeless transactions the following day.<h2 id="okx-prioritizes-web3-accessibility-and-targets-india-s-tech-savvy-market-for-expansion">OKX Prioritizes Web3 Accessibility and Targets India's Tech-Savvy Market for Expansion</h2>In an interview, OKX's Chief Innovation Officer Jason Lau emphasized OKX's commitment to enhancing usability and accessibility in the Web3 space, stating,&nbsp;<blockquote>"OKX is committed to improving usability and accessibility for users in the Web3 space."&nbsp;</blockquote>OKX, a pioneering cryptocurrency exchange offering cutting-edge financial services, has been actively engaged in a series of initiatives aimed at broadening its Web3 offerings.Additionally, the exchange is in the process of securing its license in <a href="https://cryptonews.com/news/okx-final-stage-obtain-hong-kong-vasp-license-as-retail-trading-market-grows.htm">Hong Kong</a>, expanding to India and has recently forged partnerships with various Web3 projects to enhance the range of utilities available on its platform.The recent launch of the "USDC Zero Network Fee Campaign" underscores the growing significance of stablecoins like <a href="https://cryptonews.com/news/stablecoin-firm-circles-chief-strategy-officer-urges-legislation-amidst-usdc-market-decline.htm">USDC</a> in the broader financial ecosystem and showcases stablecoins' potential to revolutionize traditional financial transactions.
