How to Add Tokens to OKXWeb3 Wallet

1. Understanding Web3 Wallets

Web3 wallets are digital wallets that allow users to store, manage, and transact cryptocurrency assets on blockchain networks. They typically interact with decentralized applications (dApps) and provide access to various cryptocurrencies and tokens. Unlike traditional custodial wallets, Web3 wallets give users complete control over their private keys and assets.

2. Requirements for Adding Tokens

Before adding tokens to your OKXWeb3 wallet, ensure you have the following:

• An OKXWeb3 wallet account
• The network supported by the token you want to add (e.g., Ethereum, Polygon)
• The token contract address or token symbol for manual addition

3. Adding Tokens via Token Search

• Open the OKXWeb3 wallet: Access the wallet through the Chrome extension or okxweb3.com.
• Navigate to the "Assets" page: Click on the "Assets" tab to view your current holdings.
• Search for the token: Type the token name or contract address into the search bar at the top of the page.
• Select the token: Once the token appears in the search results, select it to add it to your wallet. The token will be displayed in your asset list.

4. Adding Tokens Manually

If the token you want to add is not supported by the token search feature, you can manually add it using the following steps:

• Click "Add Custom Token": In the "Assets" page, click on the "Add Custom Token" button located at the bottom of the asset list.

• Enter token details: A pop-up window will appear where you can enter the following information:

  • Token Contract Address
  • Token Symbol
  • Token Decimals
• Confirm addition: Once the details are entered, click on the "Add Token" button. The token will be added to your wallet.

5. Confirming Token Addition

After adding a token, check if it appears in your wallet's asset list. If it does not display, refresh the page or ensure you have selected the correct network. Additionally, you can verify the token addition by going to the token's explorer page using the contract address and confirming that the balance and information match your wallet's holdings.
