FAQ Section
Q: Can I store all USDT versions in one wallet?
A: Yes, OKX Web3 Wallet supports multiple networks simultaneously, but you must add each version separately.
Q: How do I know which USDT version I have?
A: Check the issuing platform or exchange where you obtained it - most platforms clearly label the network type.
Q: What happens if I send USDT to the wrong network?
A: The assets become irrecoverable. Always verify the receiving address supports your USDT version.
Q: Is there a fee for adding custom tokens?
A: No, token addition is free. You only pay network fees when actually transferring tokens.
Q: How can I verify a token contract address?
A: Use trusted blockchain explorers like Etherscan or Tronscan, and cross-reference with official project documentation.
Q: Why doesn't my added token show a balance?
A: This typically means you haven't received any tokens at that address yet. The token will appear once you receive assets.
