Adding tokens to your OKX Wallet and customizing the asset display can enhance your overall user experience by allowing you to manage and view your preferred cryptocurrencies more efficiently. This guide will walk you through the detailed steps to add tokens and customize the asset display on the OKX Wallet.

Accessing the OKX Wallet

Before you can add tokens or customize your asset display, you need to access your OKX Wallet. Here's how to do it:

• Open the OKX app on your mobile device or navigate to the OKX website on your computer.
• Log in to your account using your credentials. If you don't have an account, you'll need to create one.
• Navigate to the Wallet section. On the mobile app, you can usually find this at the bottom of the screen. On the website, it's typically located in the top menu.

Adding Tokens to Your OKX Wallet

Once you are in the Wallet section, you can start adding tokens. Here are the detailed steps:

• Select 'Add Token'. This option is usually found within the Wallet interface. It might be represented by a plus sign or labeled 'Add Token'.
• Search for the Token. You will see a search bar where you can type the name or the ticker symbol of the token you want to add. For example, if you want to add Ethereum, you would type 'ETH' or 'Ethereum'.
• Confirm the Addition. Once you find the token, select it and confirm that you want to add it to your wallet. The token will now appear in your asset list.

Customizing Asset Display in OKX Wallet

Customizing the asset display allows you to prioritize the tokens you use most frequently or hide tokens you rarely use. Here's how to do it:

• Access the Asset List. Navigate to the list of assets in your OKX Wallet.
• Rearrange Tokens. Most wallets allow you to drag and drop tokens to reorder them. Simply press and hold the token you want to move and drag it to your desired position in the list.
• Hide Tokens. If you want to hide certain tokens, look for an option to hide or remove them from view. This is usually done by selecting the token and choosing an option like 'Hide' or 'Remove from List'. Note that hiding a token does not mean you are selling or removing it from your wallet; it just won't be displayed in your asset list.

Adding Custom Tokens

If you want to add a token that is not listed in the OKX Wallet by default, you can add a custom token. Here's how:

• Select 'Add Custom Token'. This option is usually found in the 'Add Token' section.
• Enter Token Details. You will need to provide the token's contract address, symbol, and decimals. This information can usually be found on the token's official website or blockchain explorer.
• Confirm the Addition. After entering the details, confirm the addition of the custom token. It will now appear in your asset list.

Managing Token Balances

After adding and customizing your tokens, it's important to manage your token balances effectively. Here's how:

• Check Balances. Regularly check the balances of your tokens in the OKX Wallet. This can help you stay informed about your asset values and any changes.
• Transfer Tokens. If you need to move tokens between wallets or to another platform, use the 'Send' or 'Transfer' option within the OKX Wallet. Enter the recipient's address and the amount you want to send, then confirm the transaction.
• Receive Tokens. To receive tokens, use the 'Receive' option to generate a deposit address for the specific token. Share this address with the sender to receive the tokens.

Using the OKX Wallet for DApps

The OKX Wallet also allows you to interact with decentralized applications (DApps). Here's how to use your wallet for DApps:

• Connect to DApps. Navigate to the DApp section in the OKX Wallet. You can browse or search for specific DApps.
• Authorize Access. When you select a DApp, you will be prompted to authorize access to your wallet. Review the permissions and confirm if you want to proceed.
• Interact with DApps. Once connected, you can use the DApp to perform actions like swapping tokens, staking, or participating in decentralized finance (DeFi) activities.
