Which Networks Does OKX Support for Deposits? Complete Network Overview
OKX does not provide a single, unified list of supported networks that applies to all coins. The networks available for deposit depend entirely on the specific cryptocurrency. The golden rule is: Always use the same network for depositing as you used for withdrawing. For example, if you withdraw USDT from another platform via TRC20, you must select the TRC20 network when depositing into OKX. Below are the practical steps to confirm and complete a deposit on OKX.
Step 1: Find the Coin You Want to Deposit
Open the OKX app, tap [Assets] at the bottom, then [Deposit]. Enter the coin name (e.g., USDT, ETH, or BTC) in the search bar.
What counts as done: The deposit details page for that coin loads, and you can see a network selection dropdown. This means you are on the correct screen.
Step 2: View All Supported Networks for That Coin
Tap the network selection dropdown and scroll to the bottom. All the options displayed are the networks currently supported for that coin.
Some coins only support a single network. In this case, a pop-up prompt will appear automatically after you select the coin, and there will be no dropdown to choose from.
Completion standard: You are able to list at least one available network for that coin.
Prerequisite: None. The network list on the deposit page is public information; you do not need to log in to view it.
Step 3: Verify the Withdrawal Network on the Sending Platform
Open the platform or wallet from which you are sending assets, go to the withdrawal/transfer page, and check the available network options for that coin.
Scenario A: The sending platform supports a network that also appears in OKX's network list from Step 2. → Select the same network on both sides, copy the OKX deposit address, and paste it into the withdrawal address field on the sending platform.
Scenario B: The sending platform supports a network that is NOT in OKX's network list. → Do not proceed. This network is not accepted by OKX. Transferring via an unsupported network will result in permanent loss of assets—they cannot be recovered.
Scenario C: The sending platform offers multiple network options, and you are unsure on which network your assets were originally held. → Go back to the asset page on the sending platform, check the coin's deposit history or transaction records to identify the blockchain network used when you received the funds. If you cannot find it, contact that platform's customer support.
Completion standard: Confirm that the network name on both sides matches exactly without any discrepancy.
Common reason for failure: "I selected a network name that looked similar." For instance, choosing "BSC'' when OKX only lists "BNB Smart Chain" – it is actually the same chain but named differently. In such cases, the safest approach is to verify the Chain ID rather than relying solely on the name.
Step 4: Copy the Address and Complete the Transfer
After selecting the correct network on the OKX deposit page, copy the deposit address. For some coins (such as XRP), you must also copy the Tag/Memo; both are required.
Go back to the sending platform, paste the address, enter the withdrawal amount, and confirm the transaction.
Completion standard: The sending platform shows a status like "Withdrawal Successful" or "Transaction Broadcast".
Risk reminders:
Incorrect address copy: After pasting, manually check the first 6 and last 6 characters of the address to prevent clipboard hijacking.
Missing Tag/Memo: For coins that require a Tag (e.g., XRP, ATOM), omitting it or entering it incorrectly will prevent the assets from being credited.
Minimum deposit limits: Some networks enforce a minimum deposit amount. Deposits below this limit will not be credited. Refer to the specific amount shown on the OKX deposit page.
How to Confirm Everything Was Done Correctly
Once the transfer is complete, return to the OKX app, tap [Assets] — [Deposit], and then tap the clock icon in the top right corner to access your deposit history. A status of "Confirming" means the transaction has been received on-chain and is awaiting block confirmations. "Deposit Successful" means the funds have been fully credited and are available.
Confirmation speeds vary by network: TRC20 usually takes a few minutes, while ERC20 may take 10–30 minutes, depending on network congestion.
FAQ
Q: Can you just list every network that OKX supports?
USDT is one of the coins with the broadest network support, currently including Tron (TRC20), Ethereum (ERC20), Arbitrum One, Avalanche C-Chain, Optimism, Polygon, Solana, TON, X Layer, Aptos, and others. However, each coin's supported networks differ, and you must always rely on what you actually see on the deposit page for that specific coin.
Q: What is the difference between USDT0 and regular USDT? Do I need to choose separately for deposits?
USDT0 is a cross-chain version of USDT. OKX supports deposits and withdrawals of USDT0 on networks such as X Layer, Unichain, Berachain, Optimism, Arbitrum, and Polygon. On the OKX deposit page, USDT0 will be displayed as native USDT; you just need to select the corresponding network based on the type of asset you actually hold.
Q: I accidentally deposited a coin or used a network that OKX doesn't support. Can I recover my funds?
There is no guarantee. OKX officially warns that depositing via an unsupported network may lead to asset loss. In practice, there is an extremely small chance that funds can be retrieved through a support ticket, but the process demands significant time and effort and the success rate is extremely low. Do not rely on luck — always double-check everything before initiating a deposit.
