Is the OKX Wallet extension free?

Yes. Installing the extension is free. You pay network gas fees when you send or swap, and a service fee on some DEX swaps.

Can OKX recover my wallet if I lose my seed phrase?

No. For a seed phrase wallet, only you have the phrase. A social login wallet can be recovered by signing in with the same account, until you export its seed phrase.

Which browsers support OKX Wallet?

The extension is listed on the Chrome Web Store and works in Chromium browsers such as Chrome and Edge. OKX also offers mobile apps for iOS and Android.

Why was my OKX Wallet extension disabled?

Usually a browser update glitch. Update and restart the browser before clicking Repair, and back up your seed phrase first.

How do I add funds to the OKX Wallet extension?

Open the extension, choose Receive, pick the crypto and network, and copy the address. Then withdraw from your exchange to that address on the same network. If you use the OKX exchange, the mobile app also offers Receive → Withdraw cryptos from Exchange (OKX help center).

OKX Wallet Extension: Install on Chrome Safely (2026)

The OKX Wallet extension is the official browser version of OKX's self-custody Web3 wallet. You install it from your browser's extension store, create or import a wallet, and then connect to DApps, swap tokens and manage assets on 140+ networks from your desktop. The most important step is making sure you install the real extension, because fake wallet extensions are one of the most common ways people lose crypto.

What the OKX Wallet extension is

OKX Wallet is separate from your OKX exchange account. The exchange account is custodial: OKX holds the keys and you log in with your account. OKX Wallet is self-custody: only you hold the keys, and nobody, including OKX, can recover a seed phrase you lose.

	OKX exchange account	OKX Wallet extension
Who holds the keys	OKX	You
How you log in	Email or phone and password	Wallet password on this device; recovery by seed phrase, private key or social login
Used for	Buying, selling, P2P, Earn	DApps, DeFi, on-chain swaps, NFTs

According to its Chrome Web Store listing, the extension supports Bitcoin, Ethereum and other EVM networks, Solana and Sui, can connect hardware wallets, and includes phishing detection and risk warnings for suspicious sites and transactions.

How to download and install the real extension

Open the Chrome Web Store and search for OKX Wallet. Microsoft Edge can install extensions from the Chrome Web Store too.
Before clicking install, check the listing: the website shown should be web3.okx.com and the developer email should end in @okx.com. A genuine listing has around a million users and thousands of ratings.
Click Add to Chrome, read the permission prompt and confirm.
Pin the OKX Wallet icon to your toolbar so you always open the same extension.

Never install a wallet extension from a link in an ad, a direct message or a "support" chat. Search the store yourself.

Three ways to set up the wallet

1. Create a new seed phrase wallet

The extension generates a recovery (seed) phrase. Write it on paper, in order, and store it offline. Do not screenshot it or save it to cloud notes. Anyone who sees it can take your funds.

2. Import an existing wallet

You can import a wallet with its seed phrase or a private key, or connect a hardware wallet. Only type a seed phrase into the extension itself, never into a website.

3. Social login (Google, Apple or email)

OKX also offers a wallet you open with a Google, Apple or email sign-in, without writing down a seed phrase first. OKX says the keys are created and held in a trusted execution environment and that it never sees your seed phrase or private key in plain text. The trade-off: if you lose access to that social account, you can lose access to the wallet. You can export a seed phrase later from the app or extension, but doing so permanently unlinks the social login from that wallet.

How to spot a fake OKX Wallet extension

The listing links to a website other than web3.okx.com.
Very few users or reviews, or reviews that all look the same.
It asks for your seed phrase immediately after install "to verify" or "to sync". The real extension only asks when you choose to import a wallet.
You reached it from an ad, a sponsored search result or a link someone sent you.

If you already entered a seed phrase into something suspicious, assume the wallet is compromised: create a new wallet on a clean device and move any remaining funds immediately.

Fixing "This extension may have been corrupted"

Chrome or Edge sometimes disables the extension with this message. OKX's help center says it is usually caused by a browser update glitch, not a security problem with your wallet. Its advice:

Update the browser and restart it. This often restores the extension with your data intact.
Do not click "Repair" straight away. Repair can reinstall the extension and remove the wallet data stored locally.
If restarting does not help, back up your seed phrase or private key first, then reinstall the extension and import the wallet again. OKX's help article also explains how to back up the extension's local data folder before repairing.

Swapping in the extension and the invite discount

OKX Wallet has a built-in DEX for swapping tokens across networks. OKX runs a DEX referral program: when you join through an invite link, the code can give you a trading fee discount of 0–10% on DEX trades, set by the person who created the code and applied in real time. Our OKX Wallet invite link is a referral link: we may earn part of the fee, and it costs you nothing extra.

Safety checklist

Keep only the amount you actively use in a browser wallet.
Read every signature request; reject anything you did not start.
Review and revoke old token approvals from time to time.
Use a hardware wallet for larger amounts.
