Web Platform Guide
1. Connecting Your Wallet
Step-by-Step:
- Visit OKX Official Site, navigate to Web3 Wallet, and click Connect Wallet.
- Select OKX Web3 Wallet → Install Extension.
- Create a wallet: Set a password, back up your 12-word recovery phrase (store offline; OKX cannot recover lost phrases).
- Non-custodial design means OKX never stores passwords—reset via recovery phrase if forgotten.
⚠️ Warning: Unbacked phrases = permanent asset loss.
