1. Preparation: Download OKX App and Create a Web3 Wallet
MOBILE is a token on the Solana blockchain, so you need a wallet that supports Solana.
How to do it: Download the OKX App (from the official website or app store), find the "Web3 Wallet" entry within the app, and create or import a wallet following the instructions. During creation, a seed phrase will be generated. Write it down offline and store it securely—never screenshot or share it with anyone.
Completion criteria: You can enter the wallet homepage, see your wallet address and network status.
2. Fund Your Wallet with SOL (Gas Fees + Base Asset for Swapping)
Swapping to MOBILE requires SOL for network gas fees, and SOL is commonly used as the base asset in the trading pair.
How to do it: On the wallet homepage, select "Receive", choose the Solana network, and copy your SOL receiving address. Buy SOL from a centralized exchange (such as OKX exchange) and withdraw it to this address.
Completion criteria: Once the SOL balance appears in your wallet, it is recommended to keep 0.02–0.05 SOL as a gas fee buffer.
Important reminder: Always select the Solana network for the deposit. Choosing the wrong network will cause your assets to be lost and unrecoverable.
3. Find and Buy MOBILE Using the OKX DEX
Once funds have arrived, swap via the wallet's built-in DEX.
Find MOBILE: On the wallet's "Trade" or "Swap" page, search for MOBILE. Usually, you will use the SOL → MOBILE swap route.
Check the contract address: On Solana, tokens with similar names can exist. MOBILE's official contract address is
mb1eu7TzEc71KxDpsmsKoucSSuuoGLv1drys1oP2jh6. In the search results, be sure to select the token with exactly this address to avoid counterfeit tokens.Adjust slippage and confirm: If the order fails due to price fluctuations, you can slightly increase the slippage tolerance, then confirm the transaction and sign it in your wallet.
Completion criteria: After the swap succeeds, you will see a MOBILE balance in your wallet's asset list.

High supply, low unit price: MOBILE has a total supply of 83.2 billion tokens, currently trading at a very low price with high volatility.
How to confirm the operation is complete:
After the swap, go to the wallet's asset page and switch to the Solana network. If you see a MOBILE balance, the funding was successful. If the transaction failed or the balance hasn't changed, check the DEX history for the specific reason—usually insufficient slippage or not enough gas. Adjust the parameters and try again.
