Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my wallet supports a specific token?
OKX Wallet displays supported tokens in the selection menu. If your desired cryptocurrency doesn't appear, you may need to add the token contract manually or verify network compatibility.
What's the difference between seed phrases and private keys?
Seed phrases (12-24 words) generate entire wallets across multiple chains, while private keys control specific addresses within EVM/Solana ecosystems. Both require absolute confidentiality.
Why does my transaction take so long to appear?
Transaction speed depends on:
- Network congestion levels
- Gas fees paid
- Blockchain confirmation requirements
Most transactions complete within minutes, but during peak times may take longer.
Can I use the same address for different cryptocurrencies?
This depends on the blockchain. Some networks (like Ethereum) use the same address for all ERC-20 tokens, while others require unique addresses per asset.
How often should I back up my wallet?
Create backups:
- Immediately after wallet creation
- After adding significant assets
- Before device changes/upgrades
- Periodically (quarterly recommended)
