How to Identify the Official OKX Registration Website?
The simplest and most direct way: OKX official website is only one — www.okx.com. Any URL that looks similar but with one or two different letters (such as www.okx.com.cn or www.okx.net) is a phishing site. Remember this and you can avoid over 90% of fake sites.
1. Recognize the Sole Official Website
What to do: Remember OKX's official domain, bookmark it in your browser, and always access it from there.
How to do it:
Official website: www.okx.com
Web3 product entrance: web3.okx.com (for OKX Web3 Wallet, DEX, and other decentralized services)
Do not click on ad links after searching for keywords like "OKX" or "OuYi" on search engines, as these are often phishing traps.
When is this step complete: You have bookmarked www.okx.com and always log in from this bookmark.
Common phishing site tricks: domains that are very similar to the official one, differing by just one letter or suffix (e.g., www.okx.com.cn, www.okx.net), with pages almost identical to the official one, designed to steal your account password and verification codes.
2. Check Three Things During Registration
What to do: Verify three aspects during the registration process to confirm you are on the genuine entrance.
How to do it:
| Check Item | Official Features | Red Flags |
|---|---|---|
| Address Bar | Shows www.okx.com | Domain contains extra letters/numbers, or uses unusual suffixes like ".cc", ".top" |
| Page Content | Normal registration flow, asking to bind phone number and email | Page asks for mnemonic phrase, private key, or asks to "unfreeze", "security verification" by sending funds first |
| App Source | Download from App Store for iOS; for Android, scan QR code from official website to download | Apps downloaded via unknown QR codes, third-party links, or group chat files |
When is this step complete: You have confirmed the URL is correct, the registration flow is normal, and the App is from the official source.
3. Set Up Anti-Phishing Code
What to do: Set an anti-phishing code known only to you in security settings, used to distinguish genuine official emails from fake ones.
How to do it:
Log in to the OKX App, tap the top-left personal center → [Profile & Settings] → [Security Settings] → [Security Center].
Find [Anti-Phishing Code], set a string you can remember (e.g., "myokx2026").
Once set, every official email from OKX will display this anti-phishing code in the body.
When is this step complete: Anti-phishing code has been set successfully. From now on, check for this code in each email you receive.
Prerequisite: You have completed OKX account registration and are logged in.
If an email claiming to be from "OKX Official" does not contain your anti-phishing code, it is a phishing email. Delete it immediately without clicking any links.
4. Verify Identity Using Official Channels
What to do: If someone claiming to be "OKX Support" contacts you, verify their identity through official verification channels.
How to do it:
Verification via App: Open OKX App, tap top-left personal center → [Profile & Settings] → [Security Settings] → [Security Center] → [Official Channel Verification], enter the person's contact information to verify authenticity.
Verification via Web: Visit https://www.okx.com/support-center/channel-verification, enter the person's information to verify.
When is this step complete: You know where the official verification portal is and how to verify when someone claims to be official.
Risk reminder:
OKX will never proactively contact you via SMS, phone call, or social media private message to ask for your password, verification code, or request a transfer. Any such behavior is a scam.
Official customer support within the OKX App has a blue "Official" badge. Do not trust any "support" without this badge.
How to confirm you have correctly identified the official website?
Enter www.okx.com in the browser address bar and press Enter. If the page loads normally and you see the familiar OKX login/registration interface, it's confirmed as the official site. If the page shows anything unusual (e.g., asking for mnemonic phrase, interface different from usual), close it immediately. After registration, we recommend setting up an anti-phishing code and binding Google Authenticator (2FA) to enhance account security.
