DemoToken (DEMO) is a digital asset gaining traction in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space. This guide will walk you through purchasing DEMO securely on OKX DEX, whether you're a beginner or an experienced trader.
Step 1: Set Up Your OKX Wallet
Download the OKX App or Wallet Extension
Start by installing the OKX Wallet via the OKX mobile app or browser extension.
Create or Import Your Wallet
- Navigate to the Web3 Wallet section in the OKX menu.
- Follow the prompts to create a new wallet or import an existing one using a seed phrase.
- Back up your seed phrase securely—this is crucial for wallet recovery.
👉 Pro Tip: Never share your seed phrase or private keys. Store them offline for maximum security.
Step 2: Fund Your Wallet
Deposit Cryptocurrency
Transfer BNB (Binance Coin) or other supported assets like USDT or ETH to your OKX Wallet:
- Ensure you’re using the correct network (e.g., BNB Chain for DEMO purchases).
- Cover gas fees by maintaining a small balance of the network’s native token (e.g., BNB for BNB Chain).
How to Buy BNB
If you don’t own BNB, purchase it directly on OKX Exchange or another platform. Learn how to buy BNB here.
