How to Deposit GALA on OKX? Step-by-Step Game Token Funding Guide

The core rule for depositing GALA to OKX is to first confirm exactly which version of the GALA token you hold. This token underwent a contract upgrade in May 2023, the old GALA (v1) has been deprecated, and OKX only supports the new GALA v2 now. In addition, there is a homonymous "GALA" copycat token on the BSC chain that is completely unrelated to the official Gala Games token, and your funds will be lost permanently if you deposit the wrong one.

1. Confirm the version and network of your held GALA

What to do: Before any operation, verify which blockchain your "GALA" is stored on, and which version of the contract it uses.

How to do it:

Scenario A: Your GALA is on Ethereum Mainnet. First check the OKX deposit page to confirm it accepts the new GALA v2 version. After the May 2023 contract upgrade, the old GALA v1 is no longer in use. If you still hold the old GALA v1, you need to complete the 1:1 swap first before you can deposit to OKX.

The Ethereum contract address for new GALA v2 is: 0xd1d2Eb1B1e90B638588728b4130137D262C87cae. Use this exact address when adding the token to your wallet, do not use any other address.

Scenario B: Your GALA is on BNB Chain (BSC). There is indeed a token named "GALA" on the BSC chain, but it belongs to a separate project and has no connection to Gala Games' official GALA. If you select the wrong network and transfer this token to OKX, your funds will almost certainly be lost.

Scenario C: Your GALA is on Solana or other chains. GALA may have deployments on Solana and other chains, but OKX's deposit channel only officially supports the Ethereum Mainnet version of GALA. Always confirm which networks are supported on the OKX deposit page before initiating a transfer.

Completion check: You can clearly confirm that "My GALA is on Ethereum Mainnet and uses the new v2 contract", or "I need to complete the swap/cross-chain process first before depositing".

Prerequisite: Your OKX account has completed real-name identity verification (KYC). You cannot make any deposit if your account is not verified.

Common failure reasons: The most common issue is that users are unaware of the GALA contract upgrade, and try to deposit old GALA v1 to OKX, resulting in uncredited funds. Another frequent problem is that users misidentify the network, and treat the BSC homonymous token as the official Gala Games GALA.

2. Transfer GALA from your on-chain wallet to OKX

What to do: After confirming your GALA is the v2 version and stored on Ethereum Mainnet, transfer it to your OKX exchange account.

How to do it:

1. Open the OKX App, tap Assets on the bottom navigation bar, then select Deposit.

2. Search for "GALA" in the token list.

3. Select network: Choose Ethereum (ERC20). If OKX displays multiple network options, only pick Ethereum Mainnet.

4. The page will show your dedicated GALA deposit address. Copy this address.

5. Open your crypto wallet, make sure the active network is set to Ethereum Mainnet, paste the copied deposit address, confirm the Gas fee, and submit the transfer.

The official Gala Games website and OKX Web3 wallet both support GALA deposit and trading, and this transfer channel is fully stable. For transfers from the OKX exchange to OKX Web3 wallet, you only need to select the correct network.

Completion check: The transfer has been submitted, and you have obtained the TxID (transaction ID) for this on-chain operation.

Prerequisite: Your wallet holds a balance of new GALA v2, and has enough ETH to cover Ethereum Gas fees.

Common failure reasons: The GALA in your wallet is still the old v1 version. If the contract address in your wallet does not match 0xd1d2Eb1B1e90B638588728b4130137D262C87cae, do not initiate the deposit, and look up the 1:1 swap process first.

Risk warning: Blockchain transactions are irreversible. For your first operation, it is strongly recommended to transfer a small test amount first, confirm it arrives in your account, then transfer the remaining balance. This is the safest practice especially for tokens that have a history of contract upgrades.

3. Buy GALA directly on OKX (if you do not hold any GALA yet)

What to do: If you do not have GALA in your on-chain wallet, the easiest solution is to buy GALA directly on OKX with USDT, so you do not need to deal with the version and network issues at all.

How to do it:

1. Make sure you have sufficient USDT in your account. If you do not have USDT, you can first fund your account via bank transfer, credit card, Apple Pay and other supported payment methods.

2. Go to Trade - Spot, then search for the "GALA/USDT" trading pair.

3. Choose a market order for immediate execution, or set a limit order with your preferred price and wait for the trade to fill.

OKX supports direct purchase of GALA via credit card, bank transfer or Apple Pay. The GALA you buy directly inside the OKX exchange is the official new v2 version by default, so you do not need to worry about contract version compatibility issues.

Completion check: Your spot account page displays your available GALA balance.

Prerequisite: Your account has completed KYC verification, and has enough USDT balance for your intended purchase amount.

Common failure reasons: You select the wrong trading pair when searching for GALA. The standard official trading pair for GALA on OKX is GALA/USDT, confirm the corresponding contract address before placing an order.

Next steps guide:

• You already hold on-chain GALA on Ethereum Mainnet: First confirm the contract address matches the new v2 address 0xd1d2Eb1B1e90B638588728b4130137D262C87cae. If it matches, proceed to step 2, and transfer a small test amount first. If it does not match, complete the 1:1 swap process first.

• You do not hold any GALA yet: Proceed to step 3, buying GALA directly on OKX with USDT is the most hassle-free option that avoids all contract version issues.

• Your GALA is on BSC chain: First confirm whether it is the official Gala Games token. If it is a copycat token, OKX will not accept it; if it is GALA bridged to BSC from Ethereum, you will need to bridge it back to Ethereum Mainnet first before you can deposit to OKX.
