What is a deposit?

A deposit refers to transferring crypto from another exchange or platform to your OKX account. It is similar to bank transfers. For example, Person A provides their bank account number to Person B, and Person B uses that account number to deposit funds into Person A’s bank account. When making a deposit, all cryptos require a deposit address. Some crypto also require an additional tag (also known as a Tag or Memo) to be filled in along with the address.When depositing, make sure that the crypto name and the network used for deposits and withdrawals are exactly the same. Currently, OKX does not support deposits of certain networks, such as USDT on the BSC network.

Please deposit only cryptos supported by OKX. If you can't find a certain token and network on the deposit page, it means this token is not supported and your assets may be lost.
