How to Deposit STRK on OKX? Starknet Funding Tutorial
When depositing STRK on OKX, there is only one correct path: select the STRK network (Starknet mainnet), not the ERC20 or BSC networks you may be used to. STRK is the native token of the Starknet L2 and has its own independent network—if you choose the wrong one, your funds are likely gone for good.

1. Confirm Which Network Your STRK Is On
Goal: Figure out whether you haven't bought STRK yet, already hold it on OKX, or have it in an on-chain wallet.
How to do it:
Case A: You don't own STRK yet. No deposit needed. Buy directly on OKX. Open OKX, search for the "STRK/USDT" trading pair, and buy with USDT. OKX supports bank transfers, credit cards, Apple Pay, and more to fund your account before purchasing.
Case B: Your STRK is already in your OKX account. No action needed. If you want to move it to an external wallet, follow the withdrawal process.
Case C: Your STRK is in an on-chain wallet (e.g., OKX Web3 Wallet, MetaMask, etc.). STRK is the native token of the Starknet mainnet. Open your wallet and confirm the current network—if it's Starknet mainnet, choose the STRK network for deposit. The OKX Web3 Wallet fully supports Starknet and lets you switch to the Starknet network with one click to manage your assets.
Completion criteria: You've confirmed that "my STRK is on the Starknet mainnet."
Prerequisite: Your OKX account must have completed identity verification (KYC).
Common mistake: Confusing whether STRK is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum or a Starknet native token. STRK is Starknet's native token. Although a wrapped version exists on Ethereum, the "STRK network" on the OKX deposit page refers to Starknet mainnet, not the ERC20 network. Choosing the wrong network means your funds cannot be recovered.
2. Deposit STRK from an On-Chain Wallet to OKX
Goal: Transfer STRK from your wallet to the OKX exchange.
How to do it:
Open the OKX app, tap 【Assets】 at the bottom, and select 【Deposit】.
Search for "STRK".
Select network: Choose STRK network (Starknet mainnet). This is the only correct option. OKX's deposit rule is: the selected network must exactly match the withdrawal network of your wallet; otherwise, the assets will be lost.
The page will show a deposit address and the minimum deposit amount. If the amount is below the minimum, the funds will not arrive and cannot be returned.
Copy the address, open your wallet, and initiate the transfer. Make sure your wallet is on the Starknet mainnet.
Important note: STRK network deposits are not instant. OKX indicates that deposits may take up to 12 hours to credit and have a daily limit of $100,000. Although only 5 block confirmations are required, the platform's processing queue can be lengthy. If you need the funds urgently, plan ahead.
Completion criteria: The transfer has been submitted and the OKX assets page shows a "Depositing" status.
Prerequisites: Your wallet holds STRK and has enough gas (Starknet requires ETH for gas, shown as STRK_ETH).
Common mistake: Assuming "5 block confirmations = credited within minutes". Even with few confirmations needed, the platform has its own processing queue and risk checks, so actual arrival time can be up to 12 hours.
Risk warning: Blockchain transactions are irreversible. For your first transfer, we recommend sending a small test amount first; once confirmed, send the remaining balance.
3. Buy STRK Directly on OKX (If You Don't Have Any Yet)
Goal: If you don't own STRK, simply buy it with USDT on OKX to skip the deposit hassle and 12-hour wait.
How to do it:
Make sure you have USDT in your account. If not, deposit fiat via bank transfer, credit card, or P2P first. Bank transfers usually take 1–3 business days.
Go to 【Trade】 – 【Spot】, and search for "STRK/USDT".
Choose a market order for instant execution or a limit order to set your price and wait.
After the order is filled, STRK will appear in your spot account.
OKX spot trading fees: maker 0.08%, taker 0.10%.
Completion criteria: Your spot account shows a STRK balance.
Prerequisites: Account KYC completed and sufficient USDT balance.
Common mistake: Searching for "STARK" instead of "STRK". The trading pair on OKX is STRK/USDT—the ticker is STRK.

4. Withdraw STRK from OKX to an External Wallet
Goal: If you bought STRK on OKX and want to store it in your own wallet.
How to do it:
Go to 【Assets】 – 【Withdraw】, and search for STRK.
Enter your external wallet address (Starknet network address).
Choose the right network: Select STRK network. Your wallet must support Starknet mainnet.
Confirm the amount and fee, then complete verification.
The OKX Web3 Wallet natively supports Starknet without manual RPC configuration, making it the recommended choice for receiving STRK.
Completion criteria: Withdrawal status shows "Completed" and STRK has arrived in your external wallet.
What to do next:
If you already have STRK on-chain: Follow step 2. Note that deposits take about 12 hours and there is a daily limit of $100,000 — if the amount is large, split it across several days. Send a small test transaction first for safety.
If you don't have any STRK yet: Follow step 3, buy with USDT. No need to worry about networks or waiting times—the simplest option.
