Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, OKX requires KYC (Know Your Customer) verification for full access to its features. Basic identity verification unlocks spot and futures trading, deposits, and withdrawals. Higher verification levels increase withdrawal limits and grant access to additional services such as P2P trading and fiat on-ramps. You will need a government-issued ID and, depending on your tier, a selfie or proof of address.

OKX uses a volume-tiered maker/taker fee schedule based on 30-day trading volume and OKB holdings. Base spot fees (Regular tier) are 0.08% maker and 0.10% taker for USDT pairs. Holding 1,000 or more OKB tokens reduces spot fees to 0.06% maker and 0.06% taker. VIP tiers are available based on 30-day volume, with the highest tiers offering negative maker fees (rebates). Always check the OKX fee schedule for the latest rates.

OKX futures (perpetual swaps) base fees are 0.02% maker and 0.05% taker. These apply to both USDT-margined and coin-margined contracts. VIP tiers based on 30-day volume reduce fees progressively, and at the top VIP tiers, maker fees become negative (you earn a rebate for providing liquidity). Holding OKB tokens can also provide additional fee discounts.

OKX restricts access from the United States, Canada, China, Hong Kong, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Cuba, and Crimea. Users residing in, located in, incorporated in, or citizens of these jurisdictions are prohibited from using OKX services. The restrictions may change over time, so always review the current OKX Terms of Service for the up-to-date list of restricted jurisdictions before trading.

To connect OKX to Gainium, log in to your OKX account and navigate to the API management page. Create a new API key with trading permissions. OKX supports HMAC-SHA256 and RSA authentication methods. Copy the API Key, Secret Key, and Passphrase (required for OKX API). In your Gainium account, add a new exchange connection, select OKX, and paste the credentials. Make sure to whitelist the Gainium IP addresses if you enabled IP restriction on OKX.

Yes, OKX offers a comprehensive derivatives suite including perpetual swaps (USDT-margined and coin-margined), expiry futures (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, quarterly), and options trading. OKX supports up to 125x leverage on select pairs. The unified account system allows cross-margin between spot, futures, and options positions for improved capital efficiency.

Yes, OKX has a robust copy trading feature with detailed analytics for lead traders. You can browse top-performing traders, view their historical returns, win rate, drawdown, and risk metrics, then copy their trades automatically with customizable position sizing. OKX copy trading supports both spot and futures markets.

OKB is the native utility token of the OKX exchange. Holding OKB in your OKX account provides trading fee discounts. At 1,000+ OKB holdings, spot fees drop to 0.06% maker and 0.06% taker. The discount applies automatically based on your OKB balance—no staking or locking is required. OKB holders also gain access to exclusive token launches, staking rewards, and other platform benefits.

OKX has 12+ built-in trading bots on its platform, including a DCA bot. However, Gainium provides a more advanced DCA bot with additional customization options. You can configure entry conditions, safety orders with custom spacing and volume scaling, multiple take profit targets, trailing stop loss, and repeat-on-TP settings. The Gainium DCA bot runs 24/7 on OKX spot and futures markets via API.

Log in to your OKX account and go to the user menu. Navigate to API under Account Settings. Click "Create API Key" and choose a name. Select the permissions you need (Trade is required for Gainium). Set a passphrase—this is unique to OKX and required alongside the API Key and Secret Key when connecting to any third-party platform. Optionally restrict the key to specific IP addresses for security. Copy and securely store all three credentials (API Key, Secret Key, Passphrase) as the Secret Key is shown only once.

The OKX unified account consolidates all trading products—spot, margin, perpetual swaps, futures, and options—into a single account. This enables cross-margin between different product types, improving capital efficiency. In Portfolio Margin mode, the system calculates margin requirements based on the overall risk of your portfolio rather than individual positions, which can significantly reduce margin requirements for hedged positions. The unified account simplifies balance management and eliminates the need to transfer funds between sub-accounts for different trading products.

Yes, OKX publishes regular Proof of Reserves (PoR) reports, allowing users to independently verify that the exchange holds sufficient assets to cover all user deposits. OKX uses a Merkle tree-based approach where users can verify their individual account balances are included in the total reserves. This transparency measure was implemented to increase trust following industry events and demonstrates OKX's commitment to security and accountability.
