OKX deposit and withdrawal checklist: network, address, memo, limits and arrival checks

The biggest transfer mistakes usually come from missing one of four checks: network, address, memo and limits.

Who this guide is for

• Best for first-time deposit or withdrawal users and anyone unsure about network selection
• Check route compatibility before you compare the fee
• A small test transfer is often safer than rushing a large move

Suggested path

1. Confirm that the sending platform and OKX both support the same network and whether a memo, tag or extra field is required.
2. After copying the address, verify the first and last characters carefully and avoid manual edits. Use a small test transfer when the route is new.
3. Review minimum deposit or withdrawal limits, expected confirmations, withdrawal security holds and whether the destination account is the correct wallet or platform.
4. If the funds seem delayed, check the on-chain status, confirmation count, network selection and memo field before assuming the transfer is lost.

Checklist

• network match
• address check
• arrival review

FAQ

Why is network matching so important for OKX transfers?

Because a network mismatch is one of the most common and most expensive transfer mistakes to recover from.

Do I always need a memo or tag?

Not for every asset or address, but if the page says it is required, it must be filled in correctly.

Does a delayed arrival mean the funds are gone?

Not always. Start with chain status, confirmations and the platform processing state before treating it as a loss.
