From here, you’ll be guided through creating or importing your wallet—both straightforward processes designed with security and usability in mind.
Create a New Wallet
If you're setting up a wallet for the first time:
- Choose Create wallet.
Decide between using a seed phrase or connecting a hardware wallet.
- Note: Ensure your hardware device is connected before proceeding.
- Set a strong password to encrypt your local data and select Confirm.
- Tap Back up now, enter your password, and securely record your 12- or 24-word seed phrase.
- Confirm that you’ve saved it by selecting I've noted it down, then verify the words in order.
- Once verified, your wallet is ready to use.
Your seed phrase acts as the master key to your entire digital identity. It allows you to recover and control all associated accounts and assets across multiple chains. Never share it and avoid storing it digitally.
Import an Existing Wallet
Already have a wallet? You can easily import it using one of three methods:
- Seed phrase
- Private key
- Hardware wallet
Simply choose Import wallet, enter your credentials or connect your device, set a local password for added protection, and confirm.
⚠️ Always safeguard your seed phrase, private key, and password. Loss or exposure may result in irreversible asset loss.
How to View or Back Up Your Seed Phrase or Private Key
Need to access your recovery details?
- Go to Settings.
- Select Back up wallet.
- Choose the wallet you want to back up.
- Enter your password.
You'll then be able to view either the seed phrase (universal across chains) or the private key (specific to each network). This feature ensures you can always restore access if needed—just remember: never expose these credentials online or share them with anyone.
Creating Additional Accounts
One powerful feature of the OKX Wallet is the ability to create multiple derived accounts under a single seed phrase.
To create a new account:
- Click your current wallet name.
- Select Add account.
These accounts—also known as derived wallets—share the same seed phrase but operate independently with unique addresses. You can also rename any account via Edit wallet for better organization.
💡 Pro tip: If you need to remove an account, you must delete the entire wallet from the device and re-import it using the seed phrase. Note that wallets imported via private key do not support adding new accounts.
Using a Watch-Only Wallet
A watch-only wallet lets you monitor blockchain activity without risking exposure of sensitive keys. By entering just a public address or ENS domain, you can track:
- Token balances
- NFT holdings
- DeFi positions
- Transaction history
- Authorization records
To set one up:
- Click Connect wallet on the OKX Wallet website.
- Select Watch-only wallet.
Unlike traditional blockchain explorers, the watch-only mode offers several advantages:
- Add multiple addresses simultaneously.
- View aggregated balances across 80+ supported networks in one dashboard.
- Monitor portfolio allocation without switching tools.
👉 See your multi-chain assets in one unified view.
However, remember: a watch-only wallet cannot sign transactions or send funds. To perform actions like transfers or approvals, you must import the full wallet using its seed phrase or private key—or authorize via a connected cold wallet.
Discovering Decentralized Applications (DApps)
The OKX Web3 Wallet includes a built-in Discover page—a curated DApp hub where users can explore thousands of decentralized protocols based on real-time metrics such as:
- Active user count
- Trading volume
- Popularity rankings
- Network performance
Navigate to the Explore DApps section directly from the extension or app interface. Search by name or browse categories like:
- Cross-chain decentralized exchanges (DEXs)
- Yield farming platforms
- NFT marketplaces
- Gaming and metaverse projects
- Lending and borrowing protocols
This integrated discovery engine removes the friction of finding trustworthy DApps while helping users evaluate project legitimacy and engagement levels before connecting their wallets.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is a non-custodial wallet?
A: A non-custodial wallet means only you control your private keys and seed phrases. No third party—including OKX—can access or manage your funds on your behalf.
Q: Can I use my OKX Wallet on multiple devices?
A: Yes. As long as you have your seed phrase, you can restore your wallet on any device—mobile (iOS/Android) or web extension—ensuring full cross-platform access.
Q: Is my seed phrase stored on OKX servers?
A: No. The OKX Web3 Wallet is fully decentralized and non-custodial. Your seed phrase is generated locally and never transmitted or stored on any server.
Q: Can I send assets between different blockchains?
A: Yes. The wallet supports cross-chain swaps and transfers through integrated bridges and DEX aggregators, allowing seamless movement of assets across networks like Ethereum, BSC, Polygon, and more.
Q: What should I do if I forget my password?
A: Your password protects local data only. If forgotten, you can still recover full access by reinstalling the wallet and restoring it with your seed phrase.
Q: Are there fees when using DApps through OKX Wallet?
A: Transaction fees (gas fees) are paid to the underlying blockchain network, not to OKX. Fees vary depending on network congestion and complexity of the operation.
Final Tips for Secure Wallet Management
- Always back up your seed phrase offline—preferably on metal or paper.
- Use a strong, unique password for local encryption.
- Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) wherever possible.
- Regularly review connected DApp permissions and revoke unused ones.
- Only download the official OKX Wallet extension from trusted sources.
