Security notices and tips

Security is the most important thing when using OKX Wallet. The following points can help you protect your assets:

1. Keep your mnemonic safe

   The mnemonic is the only way to restore the wallet. Please write it on paper and keep it in a safe place; do not screenshot or store it in the cloud. Anyone who obtains the mnemonic can control your assets.

2. Beware of fake websites and phishing links

   Confirm the URL before entering wallet information. Do not click links sent by strangers, especially those in social media or emails.

3. Use a hardware wallet for large sums

   OKX Wallet is sufficiently secure for daily use, but for large or long-term holdings it's best to store them in a hardware wallet. Keeping private keys offline is safer.

4. Test with a small transfer first

   When making your first transfer or cross-chain transfer, send a small amount first. After confirming there are no issues, then send larger amounts to avoid losing funds due to operational mistakes.

5. Be cautious when granting dApp permissions

   When connecting to a dApp, read the authorization details carefully and do not casually grant "infinite allowance." Revoke permissions for dApps you no longer use.

6. Protect your devices

   Set strong passwords for your phone and computer, avoid public Wi‑Fi, and keep your system and apps updated. Enable fingerprint or face recognition if available.

7. Regularly check assets and permissions

   Make it a habit to regularly review your wallet and permissions. If you find anything abnormal, revoke permissions or transfer funds immediately.
