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.
