How to Use the DEX Aggregation Feature?
OKX's DEX aggregator is one of its most powerful features, automatically comparing prices across multiple decentralized exchanges to find the best swap route.
Steps
- Go to the "Trade" or "Swap" page in the Web3 wallet
- Select the current network (e.g., Ethereum, BSC)
- Select the source token (the one you're selling)
- Select the target token (the one you're buying)
- Enter the amount
- The system automatically compares prices across Uniswap, SushiSwap, Curve, and other DEXs
- Displays the optimal route and estimated amount received
- Confirm the transaction and pay gas fees
The DEX aggregator supports dozens of DEXs including Uniswap V2/V3, PancakeSwap, SushiSwap, Curve, and 1inch.
How to Use the Cross-Chain Bridge Feature?
OKX Web3 Wallet integrates a cross-chain bridge aggregation feature that simplifies cross-chain transfers.
Steps

Cross-Chain Considerations

Security Reminders
When using OKX Web3 Wallet, keep these security tips in mind:
- Securely back up your seed phrase: OKX Web3 Wallet uses a standard seed phrase — always record it on paper and store it safely
- Verify DApp authenticity: Confirm it's the official website before connecting to any DApp; avoid suspicious links
- Manage token approvals: Regularly check and revoke unnecessary contract approvals
- Be aware of cross-chain risks: Cross-chain operations involve third-party bridges — choose well-known, audited bridges
- Never share your seed phrase: OKX will never ask for your seed phrase in any form
- Enable security features: Use app locks, transaction confirmations, and other security features
Are OKX Web3 Wallet and OKX Exchange the Same Thing?
No. OKX exchange is a centralized custodial platform, while OKX Web3 Wallet is a decentralized self-custodial wallet. They share the same OKX App but function independently — Web3 wallet assets are controlled by your own private keys.
Does OKX Web3 Wallet Support Hardware Wallets?
Yes. The OKX Web3 Wallet browser extension can connect to Ledger hardware wallets, allowing you to sign transactions with a hardware wallet for a higher security level.
Does OKX Web3 Wallet's Swap Have Fees?
OKX's DEX aggregator itself doesn't charge additional fees, but you'll need to pay on-chain gas fees and the underlying DEX's trading fees. The actual cost is the same as or lower than trading directly on the DEX.
Can I Import My MetaMask Account into OKX Web3 Wallet?
Yes. If you have your MetaMask seed phrase or private key, you can select "Import Wallet" in OKX Web3 Wallet and enter the seed phrase to recover the same account and addresses.
Does OKX Web3 Wallet Support Solana?
Yes. OKX Web3 Wallet is one of the few wallets that supports both EVM chains and non-EVM chains like Solana, Aptos, and Sui. You can manage Ethereum and Solana assets in the same wallet.
