There is only one official OKX account opening entrance: manually type www.okx.com in the browser address bar. Do not use search to redirect, do not click unfamiliar links provided by others, do not scan QR codes from unofficial channels; manually entering is the most effective and secure way to prevent phishing.

Prerequisites
- Have normal internet access, and the current network location is not within OKX's restricted service areas.
- Have the official OKX App installed, downloaded only from the official website, App Store, or Google Play.
Step 1: Verify the domain – only trust okx.com
Any domain with even a single character changed or with an additional suffix is not an official site.
Instructions:
- Manually type www.okx.com in the browser address bar and press Enter.
- Check that the domain shown in the address bar exactly matches okx.com, watching for hidden or substituted characters. okxe.com, okx.com.cn, okx-official.com are all counterfeit sites.
- Note that the official OKX domain suffix is .com, not .cn or any other suffix.
Completion standard: The address bar shows www.okx.com, and the top left of the page has the clear OKX brand logo.
Step 2: Confirm SSL certificate (ensure encrypted connection)
HTTPS encryption is a basic requirement for legitimate platforms; most counterfeit sites do not have a valid certificate, only using self-signed invalid certificates.
Instructions:
- There should be a padlock security icon on the far left of the address bar.
- Click the padlock icon to view certificate details; the issued-to for an official OKX site certificate should be "OKX Limited" or its affiliated company.
Completion standard: The address bar shows a "Secure" status, and the certificate can be verified as belonging to OKX.
Step 3: Identify page functional modules
The official homepage will display complete trading function entries, not just a shell page with a few buttons.
Instructions:
- Check if there is a "Log In / Sign Up" button in the upper right corner.
- Confirm that the navigation bar includes modules such as "Markets", "Trade", "Assets", "Web3 Wallet". A site with incomplete features and messy layout is highly suspicious.
Completion standard: The page structure is completely consistent with a genuine trading platform, and all function buttons can be clicked and lead to proper destinations.
Common Risk: Entering phishing sites via search engine ads
Scammers often buy search ads to make the top search result for the keyword "OKX" point to a phishing domain. Many users mistakenly click links labeled "Ad" and land on fake sites, resulting in losses.
Avoidance methods:
- Do not click any link labeled "Ad" in search results.
- Even if the search result shows the domain as okx.com, clicking it may still redirect you to a phishing site. The only safe way to access it is to manually type the domain.
Risk Warning: Any private message claiming to be "OKX customer service" that sends a registration link and asks you to fill in your seed phrase or verification code is 100% a scam. The seed phrase is the ultimate control over your crypto assets, and no legitimate platform will ever request your seed phrase, private key, or SMS verification code for any reason. In recent years, phishing scams have caused losses of tens of millions of dollars in crypto assets.

Verification method after completing the steps
Open your browser, manually type www.okx.com, and if you see the Log In/Sign Up button, the SSL padlock icon in the address bar is intact, and the top navigation bar's functions are complete, you can confirm the official entrance. If you successfully submit your registration information on the official page and proceed to the next verification step, it means the account opening entrance is correct.
If the page loads abnormally or shows that the region is unavailable, check your network environment first and confirm that your current region is within OKX's service scope.
