ETHX is a liquid staking token (LST) issued by the Stader protocol. It represents staked ETH and accumulates staking rewards. It is deployed on the Ethereum mainnet with the contract address 0xA35b1B31Ce002FBF2058D22F30f95D405200A15b. Here are the specific steps to purchase it.
1. Preparation: Download the OKX App and Create a Web3 Wallet
You need a wallet that supports the Ethereum mainnet. The OKX Web3 Wallet is one of the officially recommended entry points.
-
Instructions: Download the OKX App (from the official website or a verified app store). Locate the "Web3 Wallet" entry within the app and follow the prompts to create or import a wallet. During the creation process, a seed phrase will be generated. You must write it down offline and store it securely. Do not take screenshots or share it with anyone.
-
Completion standard: You can successfully enter the wallet homepage and view your wallet address and network status.
2. Fund Your Wallet with ETH or Other Base Assets for Swapping
When swapping for ETHX on a DEX, you typically need ETH as the base asset for the trading pair. You also need ETH to cover gas fees on the Ethereum mainnet.
-
Instructions: On the wallet homepage, select "Receive," choose the Ethereum network (ERC-20), and copy your ETH receiving address. Purchase ETH from a centralized exchange (such as OKX itself) and withdraw it to this address.
-
Completion standard: You should see the ETH balance reflected in your wallet. It is recommended to reserve 0.01-0.02 ETH as a buffer for gas fees.
3. Find and Buy ETHX on OKX DEX
Once the funds have arrived, proceed with the swap through the wallet's built-in DEX.
-
Find ETHX: On the wallet's "Trade" or "Swap" page, type ETHX into the search bar.
-
Verify the contract address: This is the most critical step. The official contract address for ETHX is 0xA35b1B31Ce002FBF2058D22F30f95D405200A15b. In the search results, make sure you select the token that matches this address exactly to avoid buying counterfeit or similarly named tokens.
-
Select the trading pair: The common route is ETH → ETHX. Enter the amount of ETH you wish to swap, and the system will automatically calculate the amount of ETHX you will receive.
-
Adjust slippage and confirm: If your order fails to execute due to rapid price fluctuations, you can increase the slippage tolerance slightly. Then confirm the transaction and authorize the signature in your wallet.
-
Completion standard: Once the transaction is successful, you will see the ETHX balance in your wallet's asset list.

4. Key Risk Reminders
Always verify the contract address: ETHX is an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum mainnet. Before purchasing, you must confirm you are buying Stader protocol's ETHX. Verify the contract address: 0xA35b1B31Ce002FBF2058D22F30f95D405200A15b.
Distinguish ETHX from ETHX500: ETHX500 is a separate, independent token project and has no relation to Stader's ETHX. Pay close attention when searching to avoid buying the wrong token.
How to confirm the operation is complete: After the transaction is done, go to the wallet's asset page and switch to the Ethereum network to check. If you can see your ETHX balance, this deposit operation has been successfully completed. If the transaction failed or the balance remains unchanged, check the DEX history for the specific reason—usually insufficient slippage or not enough gas. Adjust the parameters and resubmit the transaction.
