How to Deposit EOS on OKX? A Funding Tutorial

When depositing EOS on OKX, you must fill in the Memo. All users on the EOS mainnet share the same deposit address, and the Memo is the key identifier used by the platform to distinguish fund ownership. If omitted or entered incorrectly, the deposit will not be automatically credited. The Memo mechanism for EOS is similar to other tag-required coins (e.g., XRP, XLM). The platform assigns each user a unique numeric string that pairs with the deposit address. Below is the complete process.

Prerequisites

1. You have an OKX account and have completed identity verification (KYC). Deposits and trading require KYC.

2. You hold EOS on the EOS mainnet and have sufficient balance in your wallet to cover the transaction fees (EOS network resource fees are calculated in EOS or RAM).

3. Your wallet supports Memo fill-in function.

Step 1: Log in to OKX to get EOS deposit address and Memo

App:

1. Open OKX App, tap [Assets] → [Deposit].

2. Type "EOS" in the search box, select EOS.

3. Choose the EOS network (EOS mainnet).

4. The page will display:

   • Deposit Address: EOS mainnet account name (usually 12 characters)

   • Memo/Tag: A string of numbers (OKX's deposit tag is generally 7-8 digits)

5. Copy the address and Memo separately.

Web:

1. Log in to OKX website, click [Assets] → [Deposit].

2. Search for EOS, select EOS mainnet.

3. Copy the displayed deposit address and Memo (required).

Completion criteria: Successfully copied the EOS deposit address and Memo number generated by OKX.

EOS is a typical tag-required coin. The Memo is paired with the deposit address to ensure uniqueness; both are indispensable.

Step 2: Initiate EOS transfer from external wallet

1. Open your EOS wallet (e.g., TokenPocket, EOS ecosystem wallet, etc.).

2. Choose "Send" or "Transfer":

   • Recipient/Address: Paste the OKX deposit address copied in Step 1 (EOS account name).

   • Memo: Enter the numeric string from Step 1 in the Memo field.

   • Amount: Enter the amount of EOS you intend to deposit (reserve network resource fees).

3. Verify the address and Memo are correct, then confirm the transaction.

Completion criteria: Transfer submitted successfully; a transaction hash (TxID) has been generated.

Some wallets may hide the Memo field under "Advanced options" – you may need to enable it manually.

Step 3: Confirm the deposit

1. Return to OKX App or website, go to [Assets] → [Deposit History] to check status.

2. EOS deposits require confirmations on the EOS mainnet; typically completed within 1-5 minutes.

3. When the deposit status shows "Completed" and the EOS balance in [Assets] increases, the deposit is successful.

Completion criteria: OKX asset page shows updated EOS balance.

Common causes of failure

Memo entered incorrectly or omitted

The most common error in EOS deposits. All EOS mainnet users share the same deposit address; the Memo is the only way for the platform to identify your account. If the Memo is left blank, entered incorrectly, or filled with another user's Memo, the deposit cannot be automatically credited. You'll need to contact customer support for manual processing, which may take a longer time.

Risk reminders

• Both address and Memo must be filled: For EOS deposits, the Memo is mandatory, not optional. Filling only the address without the tag will lock the transaction, requiring additional customer service intervention to recover funds, which can be extremely time-consuming.

• Network must be consistent: Choose EOS mainnet; do not select testnet or other networks.

• Small test first: For first-time deposits, it is recommended to transfer a small amount of EOS as a test, then proceed with a large amount only after confirming receipt.

How to confirm the deposit is completed

After submitting the deposit, check the status in OKX [Deposit History]. When the status changes from "Processing" to "Completed" and the EOS balance in [Assets] increases, the deposit is successful. If it has not arrived after 30 minutes, verify whether the Memo was entered correctly, copy the TxID, and submit a "Deposit not credited" ticket via the OKX help center for inquiry.
