OKX DEX User Guide (App)

OKX DEX is a one-stop, multi-chain, and cross-chain trading aggregator. Through X Routing, the smart routing algorithm, OKX DEX finds the best route to place an order across different DEXs. By comparing prices based on liquid providers' best liquidity pools, and splitting orders, it provides users with the best trading prices with minimal slippage, and lower network gas fees in multi-chain and cross-chain scenarios.

OKX DEX connects over 100 DEXs and offers over 100,000 crypto assets in one place, which allows it to provide efficient, smooth, and economical multi-chain transaction services. OKX DEX sets aside some native tokens to pay for the network gas fees so that users don't need to transfer additional funds from other places, making it easier to swap crypto across different blockchains. Read the tutorial below to learn how to use OKX DEX.

Step 1: Connect your wallet

Download the OKX App, switch to Wallet, select Create a wallet, choose a password, and back up your seed phrase. If you already have a wallet, import your existing wallet into OKX Wallet, using your wallet's seed phrase or private key. You can manage all your assets on different networks with one OKX Wallet and have a great multi-chain experience.

Please note: for your assets' safety, keep your seed phrase and password safe and never share them with anyone.

Step 2: Trade

Select DEX on the home page, and access the Swap page. OKX DEX supports trading crypto on 14 chains and cross-chain swaps on 9 chains.

1. Swap tokens across chains

Choose your desired crypto to pay and receive on different networks at Pay and Receive, such as ETH on the Ethereum network and OKT on the OKC network. Enter an amount, select Swap, and Confirm in your wallet. Wait for the transaction to be confirmed.

2. Swap tokens on one chain

Choose your desired crypto to pay and receive on the same network at Pay and Receive, such as ETH and USDC on the ETH network. Enter an amount, select Swap, and Confirm in your wallet. Wait for the transaction to be confirmed.

Step 3: Select a token

Search by token name or contract address at Pay or Receive, and select a network. If too many tokens appear after entering a token's name, and the authenticity can't be determined, you can use CoinGecko to check. Enter the token name in the search box and copy the address in the Contract column on the token details page. Also, make sure to get the network right.

Paste it into the search box in OKX DEX, and tap to confirm.

Step 4: View the token'sprice chart

Tap ^ to expand at the bottom of the Swap page, and you can see the price chart and an overview of the receive token. You can tap the switch icon to switch to view the pay token.

Step 5: Set slippage tolerance

Tap Slippage tolerance to set the slippage. Please note that some tokens require certain levels of slippage. For example, some tokens have low liquidity, and the transaction may fail if you set the slippage tolerance to less than 5%.

Step 6: View transaction history

After a transaction is completed, you can tap the history icon to view the transaction records or go to the blockchain browser to view the details of a certain transaction. If there are too many transactions, you can also filter by the network to view more easily.
