How to Deposit DEEP on OKX? DeepBook Funding Tutorial
DEEP (DeepBook Token) is a DeFi protocol token in the Sui ecosystem. It is not directly listed on the OKX centralized exchange; you need to obtain it by swapping on a decentralized exchange (DEX) via the OKX Web3 Wallet. DeepBook is the core liquidity layer on Sui, and DEEP is its native token used for governance and trading fee discounts. Below is the complete step-by-step guide.

1. Preparation: Download the OKX App and Create a Web3 Wallet
OKX DEX is currently one of the main entry points for buying DEEP. You first need a wallet that supports the Sui chain.
What to do: Download the OKX App (from the official website or app store), find the "Web3 Wallet" section in the app, and follow the instructions to create or import a wallet. During creation, a seed phrase will be generated. Be sure to write it down offline and store it securely; do not take screenshots or share it with anyone.
Completion standard: You can enter the wallet home page normally and see your wallet address and network status.
2. Deposit SUI into Your Wallet (Gas Fee + Base Asset for Swapping)
DEEP runs natively on the Sui chain. Swapping requires SUI for gas fees, and SUI is also commonly used as the base asset in trading pairs.
What to do: On the wallet home page, select "Receive", choose the Sui network, and copy your SUI receiving address. Buy SUI from a centralized exchange (such as OKX itself) and withdraw it to this address.
Completion standard: You can see the SUI balance in your wallet. It is recommended to keep 0.1–0.5 SUI as a buffer for network fees.
3. Find and Buy DEEP on the OKX DEX
Once the funds are in place, use the built-in DEX in the wallet to swap.
Find DEEP: On the wallet's "Trade" or "Swap" page, search for DEEP in the input field. Because homonymous tokens may exist on Sui, you must verify the contract address. The contract address of DeepBook Token can be confirmed on a block explorer, usually in the format 0xdeeb7a4662eec9f2f3def03fb937a663dddaa2e215b8078a284d026b7946c270::deep::DEEP.
Select trading pair: The common route is SUI → DEEP. Enter the amount of SUI you want to swap, and the system will automatically calculate the amount of DEEP you will receive.
Adjust slippage and confirm: DEEP may have limited liquidity depth. If the order fails to execute due to rapid price fluctuations, you can increase the slippage tolerance appropriately (e.g., from 0.5% to 1%–3%). Then confirm the transaction and authorize the signature in your wallet.
Completion standard: After the transaction succeeds, you will see the DEEP balance in your wallet's asset list.

4. Key Risk Reminders
Always verify the contract address: Homonymous DEEP tokens exist on the Sui chain, and there are even projects with similar but different names. Before buying, make sure you are targeting DeepBook Protocol's DEEP by checking the contract address. If you copy an address from social platforms, cross-verify it through the project's official website.
Liquidity constraints: DEEP liquidity and prices vary significantly across different DEXs. Some trading pairs have extremely low 24-hour trading volume and thin depth. For large orders, always check the liquidity pool size and recent trading activity to avoid losses due to excessive slippage.
How to confirm completion: After the trade, go to the wallet's asset page and switch to the Sui network. If you can see the DEEP balance and its corresponding USD estimate, the deposit operation was successful. If the transaction fails or the balance remains unchanged, check the DEX history for the specific reason – typically insufficient slippage or gas. Adjust and resubmit the transaction.
