1. Complete OKX Account KYC

Goal: Ensure your OKX account has passed identity verification.

Steps:

1. Log in to the OKX app or website, go to [Profile] → [Identity Verification].
2. Follow the instructions to submit your ID documents and complete standard identity verification.

Completion: The account displays "Verified" or "Standard Identity Verification".

Accounts that have not completed KYC cannot use the deposit function.

2. Get Your BONK Deposit Address on OKX

Goal: Log in to OKX, go to the deposit page, obtain your BONK deposit address, and confirm the network is Solana.

Steps:

1. Log in to the OKX app or website, click [Assets] → [Deposit] → [Deposit Crypto].
2. Search for "BONK".
3. Select network: Choose [Solana] – BONK is an SPL token on the Solana blockchain, with the contract address DezXAZ8z7PnrnRJ3wXBoRgixCa6xjnB7YaB1pPB263.
4. The page will generate a deposit address. Copy it.

Completion: You have copied the BONK deposit address provided by OKX and confirmed that the selected network is Solana.

Prerequisite: OKX KYC identity verification must be completed.

Tokens with identical or deceptive names may exist on different networks. Before depositing, always verify the contract address and network. The official BONK contract address can be checked on the Solana block explorer.

3. Initiate a Transfer from Your External Wallet

Goal: Deposit BONK from your external wallet (e.g., Phantom, OKX Web3 Wallet, Solflare) to OKX.

Steps:

1. Open your external wallet, find your BONK asset, and click [Send] or [Transfer].
2. Paste the BONK address you copied from OKX into the "Recipient address" field.
3. Crucial step: For the network selection, you must choose [Solana] – exactly matching the network you selected on OKX. Choosing the wrong network will result in funds not arriving.
4. Ensure your wallet has enough SOL to pay the gas fee. Transfers on the Solana network require a small amount of SOL as a transaction fee.
5. Submit the transaction.

Completion: The transaction has been submitted, the wallet shows "Transaction broadcast" or "Pending confirmation", and you have obtained the TxID.

Common reasons for failure:

• Wrong network selected: You chose the Solana network on OKX but selected Ethereum or BSC in your wallet – BONK is an SPL token and is not supported on other networks; funds will not arrive.
• Insufficient gas fee: The wallet does not have enough SOL to pay the transaction fee.
• Incorrect token contract address: Tokens named BONK may exist on different chains. Confirm that the BONK in your wallet is the SPL version on Solana mainnet.

Risk warnings:

• Network mismatch = potential permanent loss of funds: BONK is an SPL token, and OKX supports receiving via the Solana network. Sending funds from another network to the OKX Solana address may cause a loss of assets.
• Deposit addresses are unique: The deposit address for each coin on each network is different. Do not use addresses meant for other coins to deposit BONK.

4. Confirm the Deposit

Goal: Wait for blockchain confirmations and check your OKX account balance.

Steps:

1. Use the TxID to check the transaction status on the Solana block explorer (solscan.io). Confirmations on the Solana network typically complete within seconds.
2. Log in to OKX, go to [Assets] → [Funding Account] or [Spot Account], and check if the BONK balance has increased.

Completion: The BONK balance in your OKX spot account has been updated.

Verification method: Enter the TxID on Solscan, confirm the transaction status is "Success", then log in to OKX and see the increased BONK balance on the [Assets] page. For first-time operations, it is recommended to send a small test amount first and transfer the remainder after it arrives. If it does not arrive after a long time, check whether the network selected during deposit and the network used for the wallet transfer are exactly the same. BONK is an SPL token on the Solana chain and can only be deposited using the Solana network.
