Wallet linking refers to the process of binding your OKX Wallet to your exchange account. Once linked, you can transfer small amounts of funds (up to $2,000 USD within 24 hours) to your wallet without secondary verification—as long as you're logged into your exchange account.
How to Link Your Wallet
- Simultaneous Login: Ensure you're logged into both your exchange account and Web3 wallet.
Navigate to Settings:
- Click the full-featured menu (top-left corner).
- Select Profile & Settings > Personal Profile > Wallet Linking > Link Now.
Confirmation:
- Choose the wallet to link.
- Verify the connection details and enter your wallet password to complete the process.
To unlink a wallet:
- Click the More icon next to the linked wallet.
- Select Unlink Account to sever the binding.
Security FAQs
Q1: Does wallet linking compromise my exchange account security?
No. Linking requires active exchange login and is user-exclusive. Transfers under $2,000/24 hours skip secondary verification; larger amounts require re-authentication.
Q2: Is my wallet’s security affected?
No. Linking mandates wallet signatures (only you can authorize). Your mnemonic phrase and private keys are never stored or exposed.
Q3: What are the key rules for wallet linking?
- Eligibility: Only verified exchange master accounts qualify.
Limits:
- 1 wallet ↔ 1 exchange account at a time (new links auto-unlink prior connections).
- Max 10 wallets per exchange account.
- Device Changes: Re-activate linked wallets when switching devices.
