• Set a strong password and ensure you securely store your recovery phrase. This is crucial for accessing your wallet if you forget your password or need to recover your wallet on a different device.
• Complete the wallet setup by agreeing to the terms of service and any other necessary steps.

With your wallet set up, you're ready to explore the NFT function.

Accessing the NFT Section in OKX Wallet

To access the NFT section in OKX Wallet, follow these straightforward steps:

• Open the OKX Wallet app and navigate to the main dashboard.
• Tap on the 'Discover' tab located at the bottom of the screen.
• Scroll through the options until you find the 'NFT' section. Tap on it to enter the NFT dashboard.

The NFT dashboard will display all the NFTs currently stored in your wallet, categorized by collection and type for easy navigation.

Adding NFTs to Your OKX Wallet

Adding NFTs to your OKX Wallet is a simple process, whether you're purchasing new NFTs or transferring existing ones from another wallet. Here's how to do it:

• Purchasing NFTs: To buy NFTs directly through OKX Wallet, navigate to the NFT section, and browse through the marketplace. Once you find an NFT you want to purchase, follow the on-screen instructions to complete the transaction. Ensure you have the necessary cryptocurrency in your wallet to cover the cost and any associated fees.
• Transferring NFTs: If you already own NFTs and want to transfer them to your OKX Wallet, you'll need the receiving address of your OKX Wallet. To find this:
  • Go to the 'Wallet' section in the app.
  • Select the 'Receive' option.
  • Choose the appropriate blockchain network for your NFT (e.g., Ethereum, BNB Chain).
  • Copy the displayed address.
• Use this address to initiate the transfer from your other wallet. Once the transaction is confirmed on the blockchain, the NFT will appear in your OKX Wallet's NFT section.

Managing Your NFT Collection

Once your NFTs are stored in your OKX Wallet, you can manage them effectively. Here are some key management features:

• Viewing Details: Tap on any NFT in your collection to view detailed information, including the NFT's name, description, and any associated metadata.
• Sending NFTs: If you need to send an NFT to another wallet, select the NFT, tap on the 'Send' option, enter the recipient's address, and confirm the transaction.
• Listing NFTs for Sale: If you want to sell an NFT, you can list it on the OKX NFT marketplace. Select the NFT, choose the 'Sell' option, set your price, and confirm the listing. The NFT will then be visible to potential buyers on the marketplace.

Interacting with NFTs

Interacting with NFTs in OKX Wallet goes beyond simple storage and management. You can engage with your digital collectibles in various ways:

• Participating in Airdrops: Some NFT projects offer airdrops to holders of specific NFTs. Keep an eye on the project's official channels for announcements and follow the instructions to claim any airdrops.
• Staking NFTs: Certain NFTs can be staked to earn rewards. If your NFT is eligible for staking, you'll find a 'Stake' option when viewing its details. Follow the prompts to stake your NFT and start earning.
• Using NFTs in Games and Apps: Many NFTs are designed to be used within specific games or applications. If your NFT has such functionality, you can connect your OKX Wallet to the relevant platform and use your NFT as intended.

Security Tips for NFT Storage

Storing valuable NFTs requires attention to security to protect your digital assets. Here are some essential tips:

• Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): This adds an extra layer of security to your OKX Wallet, making it harder for unauthorized users to access your account.
• Use a Hardware Wallet: For high-value NFTs, consider transferring them to a hardware wallet for added security. OKX Wallet supports integration with popular hardware wallets like Ledger and Trezor.
• Regularly Update Your Wallet: Keep your OKX Wallet app updated to the latest version to benefit from the latest security enhancements and bug fixes.
• Be Wary of Phishing Attempts: Always double-check the authenticity of any communication purporting to be from OKX. Never share your private keys or recovery phrase with anyone.
