Step 3: Check Imported Solana & Sui Assets in OKX Wallet

After importing your wallet, verify that all your assets, including Solana tokens and NFTs, are visible in OKX Wallet. OKX Wallet supports over 120 blockchains, including Solana, so your Phantom Wallet assets should appear automatically. If some assets are missing:

• Check Network Selection: Ensure OKX Wallet is set to display Solana assets. The wallet automatically recognizes networks, but you may need to manually select Solana in some cases.

• Derivation Paths: If assets don’t appear, the issue may be related to derivation paths (the method used to generate wallet addresses from the recovery phrase). OKX Wallet typically uses standard derivation paths, but you may need to consult OKX’s help center for assistance.

• Contact Support: If issues persist, reach out to OKX’s support team via their help center(web3.okx.com/help).

Security Best Practices

Handling recovery phrases requires extreme caution, as they control access to your crypto. Follow these tips to protect your assets:

• Avoid Digital Storage: Do not save your recovery phrase in emails, cloud services, or screenshots, as these are vulnerable to hacking.

• Never Share Your Recovery Phrase: Legitimate wallet providers will never ask for your recovery phrase. Beware of phishing scams.

• Use a Secure Device: Perform the import on a trusted, malware-free device to prevent keyloggers or other threats.

• Regular Backups: Periodically verify that your recovery phrase backup is accessible and intact.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you encounter problems during the import process, consider the following:

• Incorrect Recovery Phrase: Double-check the recovery phrase for typos or incorrect order. If you have multiple recovery phrases, ensure you’re using the one associated with your Phantom Wallet.

• Missing Assets: If assets don’t appear, you may have imported the wrong recovery phrase or need to adjust the derivation path.

• Wallet Not Recognized: OKX Wallet supports standard 12-word recovery phrases, which Phantom uses. If the import fails, ensure your recovery phrase is in the correct format.

• Password Issues: If you forget your OKX Wallet password, you can reset it by re-importing your recovery phrase, but you must have the recovery phrase accessible.
