How to Deposit APT on OKX? Aptos Funding Tutorial
First, confirm the core principle: when depositing APT, the withdrawal network in your wallet must exactly match the deposit network you select on OKX – both must be the "Aptos" mainnet. An Aptos address starts with "0x" and consists of 64 hexadecimal characters, sometimes with leading zeros omitted. If you choose the wrong network (e.g., sending wrapped APT on BSC or Ethereum), your funds will likely be lost.

1. Complete OKX KYC verification
Make sure your OKX account has passed identity verification.
Steps:
Log in to the OKX App or website, go to [Profile] → [Identity Verification].
Follow the instructions to submit your ID documents and complete standard identity verification.
Completion standard: Your account shows as "Verified" or "Standard Identity Verification".
2. Get your APT deposit address on OKX
Log in to OKX and go to the deposit page to get your APT deposit address.
Steps:
Log in to the OKX App or website, tap [Assets] → [Deposit] → [Deposit Crypto].
Search for "APT".
Select network: Choose [Aptos] mainnet.
The page will generate a deposit address – a 64-character hexadecimal string starting with "0x" (66 characters in total including the "0x" prefix). Copy this address.
Completion standard: You have copied the APT deposit address provided by OKX and confirmed that the selected network is the Aptos mainnet.
Prerequisite: OKX KYC identity verification completed.
Aptos addresses have three common forms: the full version with leading zeros, a shortened format, and a format without the "0x" prefix. The address generated by OKX is usually the shortened format; simply copy and use it directly. Do not confuse an "address" with a "domain name" – readable domains provided by Aptos Name Service (ANS) are not currently supported as deposit addresses.
3. Initiate a transfer from an external wallet
Deposit APT into OKX from your external wallet (such as OKX Web3 Wallet, Petra Wallet, etc.).
Steps:
Open your external wallet, find your APT assets, and tap [Send] or [Transfer].
Paste the APT address you copied from OKX into the "Recipient address" field.
Critical step: Under "Select network", you must choose [Aptos] or [Aptos Mainnet] – exactly the same network you selected on OKX. If you select a different network in your wallet (such as Ethereum or BSC), the funds will be sent to the wrong network.
Make sure you have enough APT in your wallet to cover the gas fee (transfers on the Aptos network require a small amount of APT as a transaction fee).
Submit the transfer.
Completion standard: The transaction has been submitted, your wallet shows "Transaction broadcast" or "Pending", and you have obtained a TxID.
Common failure reasons:
Wrong network: You selected the Aptos mainnet on OKX but chose a different network in your wallet – funds will not arrive. A deposit only succeeds when the coin and its corresponding network match perfectly; otherwise, assets may be lost and cannot be recovered.
Incorrect address format: An APT address must start with "0x". If the "0x" or some characters are missing when copying, the transaction will fail.
Insufficient gas fee: There is not enough APT in your wallet to pay the network fee.
Risk reminder:
Network mismatch = potential permanent loss of assets: OKX supports APT on the Aptos network. If you transfer APT from another network (such as wrapped APT on BSC) to OKX's Aptos address, the platform cannot credit the deposit and cannot recover the funds.
Whether APT deposits support the Aptos mainnet is subject to the available networks displayed on the deposit page.

4. Confirm the deposit has arrived
Wait for blockchain confirmations and check your OKX account balance.
Steps:
Use the TxID to check the transaction status on an Aptos block explorer. The Aptos network produces blocks roughly every 1 second, and confirmations are usually fast.
Log in to OKX, go to [Assets] → [Funding Account] or [Trading Account] and check whether your APT balance has increased.
Completion standard: The APT balance in your OKX trading account has been updated.
How can you confirm you've done everything correctly?
Enter the TxID into an Aptos block explorer and verify that the transaction status is "Success". Then log in to OKX and see that your APT balance has increased on the [Assets] page. For first-time operations, it is recommended to send a small test amount first; once it arrives, transfer the remaining balance. If it takes a long time without arriving, check whether the deposit network you selected and the wallet transfer network are exactly the same – this is the most common issue with APT deposits.
