To deposit BRETT to OKX, BRETT is an ERC-20 token on the Base chain and you must use the Base network for the deposit. Choosing the wrong network or mistyping the address will result in permanent loss of assets.

1. Pre-deposit preparation: Confirm your BRETT is on Base chain

BRETT (Brett) is a meme token on the Base chain with a total supply of 1 billion. Most wallet-held BRETT is on Base.

Step 1: Confirm the network of your BRETT

  • What to do: Open the wallet where you hold BRETT and check which network it displays.

  • How to do it:

    • Case A (shows Base Mainnet): Correct, you can proceed.

    • Case B (shows another network): This means you may hold a different token with the same name (e.g., BasedBrett on Solana or Baby Brett on BSC), not the one we are depositing. Verify the contract address: 0x921df2b326febcabea0ff59443215ec0049c4a8d.

  • When you are done: You have confirmed that the network displayed in your wallet is Base and the contract address matches the official one.

Prerequisite: You have completed identity verification (KYC) on OKX. Unverified accounts cannot deposit normally.

2. Step 1: Generate a BRETT deposit address on OKX

Step 2: Go to the deposit page and select BRETT

  • What to do: Open the OKX app or website and navigate to "Assets" → "Deposit".

  • How to do it: Type "BRETT" in the search bar, select the token and enter its deposit details page.

  • When you are done: You see the BRETT deposit page.

Step 3: Select Base as the deposit network (extremely important)

  • What to do: In the network options, choose Base or Base Network.

  • How to do it: BRETT is issued on the Base chain, so the network must be Base. After selection, the page will generate a Base chain address starting with 0x.

  • When you are done: You have copied the Base network deposit address generated by OKX.

Warning: Do not select Ethereum (ERC20), BNB Smart Chain, or any other network. Choosing the wrong chain for deposit will likely result in permanent loss of funds.

3. Step 2: Initiate the transfer from your wallet (using Base network)

Step 4: Initiate the transfer in your wallet

  • What to do: Open the wallet holding BRETT, select the asset and tap "Send".

  • How to do it:

    1. Paste the OKX deposit address you just copied.

    2. Make sure the network is Base.

    3. Enter the amount and submit, paying the Base chain gas fee.

  • When you are done: The wallet confirms the transaction has been broadcast and you have obtained a transaction hash (TxID).

Step 5: Wait for the deposit to arrive

  • What to do: Wait for blockchain confirmations.

  • How to do it: Base chain confirmations usually take a few minutes. You can check the real-time status in OKX's "Deposit History".

  • When you are done: The BRETT balance in your OKX account has increased.

Common Reasons for Failure

  1. Wrong network selected: This is the most serious and common mistake. BRETT must be sent via the Base network; an ERC20 address will not receive it.

  2. Confusing tokens with the same name: Tokens named BRETT may exist on other chains. Always verify the contract address before depositing.

Risk Reminder:

  • Wrong chain causes permanent loss: Ensure that both the sending network in your wallet and the deposit network displayed on OKX are Base.

  • Test with a small amount first: Send a small amount of BRETT first to test the process. Once it arrives successfully, transfer larger amounts.

After completing the above steps, how to confirm the deposit was successful?

Open the OKX App, go to "Assets" → "Funding Account", and check if the BRETT balance has increased. Then go to "Deposit History" and confirm the status is "Completed". If the deposit has not arrived after 30 minutes, contact OKX customer support with the TxID.
