Editorial Note
Last reviewed: 3/19/2026
This page is maintained by the OKX Signup Guide editorial team and cross-checked against platform rules, product docs and internal topic pages.
If platform rules change, treat the official documentation as the final source of truth.
A practical guide to OKX memo, tag and destination-tag fields covering when they are required, where to find them and what to do if one was missed. This refined tutorial keeps the path short and focused so you can move without guessing.
Who This Is For
Use this page if you are working through the wallet flow and want a faster read before taking the next action inside OKX.
Suggested Path
- First confirm whether the current asset and network require a memo, tag, destination tag or note field instead of checking only the address.
- After copying the OKX address, review the extra identifier shown on the page and confirm where and how it should be filled.
- Before the real transfer, run a small test if possible and keep a complete record of address, memo, network and TxID.
- If the memo was missed or entered incorrectly, do not keep repeating transfers. Preserve the chain proof first and then follow the OKX recovery or support path.
Checks Before You Continue

FAQ
Does every transfer need a memo?
No. Only some assets and address models require it, but once OKX shows the field it must be entered correctly.
Can I reuse an old memo that I saved before?
Do not assume that. Confirm the current page still shows the same address and memo requirement.
Can funds be recovered after a missing memo?
It depends on the asset and platform process. Keep the TxID and screenshots first, then follow the official support flow.
