Two things to confirm before every deposit
Nearly every failed deposit has the same cause: sender and receiver picked different networks. The OKX address is rarely wrong; the chain choice is.
Once address and network line up, it is simply a matter of waiting for confirmations - knowing that removes most of the anxiety.
What to prepare before you start
These five things cover almost every delay people run into: Which networks your sending wallet or platform supports, such as TRC-20 or ERC-20.
The confirmation threshold and any memo requirement shown on the OKX deposit page. A small amount and a few minutes for a first test transfer.
The transaction hash, which is the only proof anyone will ask for later.
A deposit flow that leaves no traps
Six steps that remove virtually all deposit risk: Pick the asset on the OKX deposit page and note every network it lists.
Check the sending side supports the same chain before going further. Send a small amount first and the remainder only after it lands.
Fill in any memo or tag the platform requires, since missing ones cannot be credited automatically. Copy the hash once submitted and track it in the deposit history.
If it never arrives past the stated confirmations, open support with the hash.
Fees, limits and processing times
Numbers change from time to time, always confirm on the official fee page before you commit size: USDT and USDC are available across several networks; matching the network on both ends is what decides whether funds arrive.
For first-time transfers, always send a small test amount before moving the full balance. Depending on region, fiat can arrive by bank transfer, card payments through third-party processors, or C2C purchase inside the app.
Crypto deposits follow the standard confirmation rule: nothing shows in your balance until the network reaches the required confirmations. The help centre and in-app support cover most issues; for fund-related cases open a ticket and keep the reference number.
Nobody from real support will ask for your password, 2FA code or seed phrase - treat anyone who does as a scammer.
The OKX-specific part
OKX displays confirmation requirements alongside network selection, and some assets need a tag as well. The deposit history page shows live progress so you can judge when to contact support.
Frequently asked questions
Do deposit addresses change
Some assets rotate addresses or differ per network, so always copy what the page shows at that moment.
Can a wrong network be recovered
It depends, and requires filing the hash for assessment; some paths are unrecoverable, which is why prevention matters most.
The chain says confirmed but my balance is empty
Either the required confirmations are not met yet or a memo is missing; check the deposit record for progress.

Ignore third parties who claim they can recover cross-chain mistakes. Keep hashes and screenshots, which are the only useful evidence in appeals.
