DApps have long been hosted on websites and programs disconnected from one another, and it can be a bumpy journey to access them. There's a crying need for a once-and-for-all gateway to help users jumpstart immediately.

To fill in this gap, OKX has integrated popular DApps for an accessible and inclusive user experience. Visit our Discover page and with a single click, users can search and enjoy DApps on OKX.

On the app

  1. Launch your OKX app, and you'll see the Wallet button. Select it and you'll enter the Home page of Wallet.
  2. For the new user, select Add Wallet. Follow our prompts to set up your login and create your own OKX Wallet!

  1. A set of Seed Phrases exclusively for you will be shared in order to keep your account secure.

Note: not your keys, not your assets. Passwords and Seed Phrase are confidential therefore, don't compromise it. Seed Phrase is irretrievable once lost, and its loss can lead to your assets being stolen. Pay extra attention to your Seed Phrase, otherwise, your assets may be lost.
