OKX Wallet is a versatile, non-custodial, and decentralized multi-chain wallet that now fully supports the XEN token. This integration allows users to seamlessly send, receive, and swap XEN across multiple blockchain networks, including OKC, Ethereum, and several others. The wallet automatically recognizes and manages XEN holdings across different chains, eliminating the need for manual network switching.
This guide provides a clear, step-by-step approach to managing XEN within the OKX Wallet app, ensuring you can securely and efficiently handle your assets.
Getting Started with OKX Wallet
Before interacting with XEN, you need to set up your OKX Wallet. The process is straightforward, whether you are creating a new wallet or importing an existing one.
Create a New Wallet
- Download the OKX app from your device's official app store.
- Open the app and switch to the Wallet tab.
- Select Create a wallet.
- Choose a strong password to secure your wallet.
- Carefully back up the generated seed phrase. This is crucial for recovering your wallet if you lose access to your device.
Import an Existing Wallet
If you already have a cryptocurrency wallet, you can import it into the OKX Wallet app using its seed phrase or private key. This allows you to manage all your assets from different networks in one convenient location.
Important Security Note: Always keep your seed phrase and password completely confidential. Never share them with anyone, as they provide full access to your digital assets.
How to Deposit XEN into Your Wallet
Once your wallet is set up, you can add XEN to it. The deposit process involves two simple actions.
Receive XEN
- Within your OKX Wallet, tap the Receive button.
- Search for and select XEN from the list of assets.
You will be presented with a list of supported networks. OKX Wallet allows you to receive XEN on 8 different blockchains:
- OKC
- Ethereum
- BSC (Binance Smart Chain)
- Polygon
- Avalanche C-Chain
- EthereumPow
- Moonbeam
- Fantom
- Select the network you wish to use. You will then see your wallet's receiving address and a QR code.
- Copy the address or use the QR code to receive funds.
Initiate the Transfer
- Go to the wallet or exchange account from which you are sending XEN.
- Paste your copied OKX Wallet receiving address into the recipient field.
- Double-check that the network you selected in OKX Wallet matches the network you are withdrawing from on the sending platform. Sending assets on the wrong network can result in permanent loss.
- Confirm and execute the transaction.
Remember: You need a small amount of the network's native token to pay for transaction (gas) fees. For example, to receive XEN on Ethereum, you need ETH for gas. Below are the native tokens for each XEN-supporting network:
- OKC: OKT
- Ethereum: ETH
- BSC: BNB
- Polygon: MATIC
- Avalanche: AVAX
- EthereumPow: ETHW
- Moonbeam: GLMR
- Fantom: FTM
How to Trade and Swap XEN
OKX Wallet features a built-in Decentralized Exchange (DEX) aggregator, enabling you to easily swap between XEN and other cryptocurrencies. You can perform both cross-chain swaps and same-chain trades.
Swapping Tokens Across Different Chains
The DEX supports cross-chain swaps for XEN across 6 blockchains, allowing you to exchange assets from one network for XEN on another.
- On the app's homepage, tap DEX and then navigate to the Swap section.
- Under Pay, select the cryptocurrency and its network that you want to swap from (e.g., USDT on Ethereum).
- Under Receive, select XEN and choose the blockchain network you want to receive it on (e.g., Polygon).
- Enter the amount you wish to swap.
- Review the transaction details, including the estimated gas fee and exchange rate.
- Tap Swap and then Confirm the transaction in your wallet. Wait for the blockchain to confirm the transaction.
Swapping Tokens on the Same Chain
You can also trade for XEN directly on a single blockchain. XEN trading is supported on 7 networks within the DEX.
- Access the Swap page via the DEX tab.
- Under Pay, select a cryptocurrency on the same network as your desired XEN (e.g., ETH on Ethereum).
- Under Receive, select XEN on the same network (e.g., Ethereum).
- Enter the amount you wish to trade.
- Tap Swap and then Confirm the transaction. Wait for the network confirmation.
