Step-by-Step: Connecting Keystone to OKX Wallet

Follow these steps to pair your Keystone hardware wallet with the OKX extension:

  1. Power on your Keystone device and tap the "Menu" icon on the screen.
  2. Navigate to "Connect Software Wallet", then select "OKX" from the list of supported wallets.
  3. Open the OKX Wallet browser extension and choose "I already have a wallet".
  4. Select "Hardware Wallet", followed by "Keystone" as your device type.
  5. Grant OKX permission to access your device’s camera. This allows it to scan the QR code displayed on your Keystone.
  6. Use your phone or computer camera within the OKX interface to scan the QR code shown on the Keystone screen.
  7. Choose which accounts you'd like to import into OKX. You can set a default wallet now or click "Skip for now" to proceed without selection.

After completion, you'll be logged into your OKX Wallet with full control over your assets—secured by your offline Keystone device.

Note: If you need to adjust derivation paths for ETH or SOL to match Ledger or other standards, tap "Change Address" during account setup.

Sending Crypto Transactions via OKX and Keystone

Once connected, sending cryptocurrency is simple and secure:

  1. In the OKX Wallet dashboard, click "Send".
  2. Enter the recipient’s wallet address and the amount you wish to transfer.
  3. Click "Confirm" — a QR code will appear on the screen.
  4. On your Keystone device, tap the Scan button on the home screen and point it at the QR code from OKX.
  5. Carefully review all transaction details: recipient address, amount, network fee, and blockchain network.
  6. Enter your Keystone PIN to authorize and sign the transaction.
  7. A new QR code will display on Keystone — this contains the signed transaction data.
  8. Return to the OKX Wallet interface, click "Next", and scan the QR code generated by Keystone.

The transaction will be broadcasted to the blockchain. Once confirmed, funds are sent securely—with your private keys never leaving your hardware wallet.

Using Decentralized Exchanges (DEX) with OKX and Keystone

The OKX Wallet includes built-in DEX aggregation, allowing users to swap tokens across multiple decentralized protocols directly from the extension. Here's how to trade safely using your Keystone:

  1. From the OKX homepage, click "Send", then input the token you want to swap and the amount.
  2. Click "Swap", review exchange rates, slippage settings, and estimated output.
  3. Confirm the swap — a QR code will appear requiring hardware signature.
  4. On your Keystone, use the scanner to read the QR code from OKX.
  5. Verify all details: source/destination tokens, amounts, fees, and network costs.
  6. Approve and sign the transaction with your PIN.
  7. A signed QR code appears on Keystone — return to OKX, click "Next", and scan it to broadcast.

You’ve successfully completed a decentralized token swap—all while keeping your keys offline and protected.

OKX Web3 Wallet supports over 50 blockchain networks, including:

It automatically detects active networks, eliminating manual switching between chains. With access to more than 1,000 DApps, OKX enables users to engage in:

Despite this broad support, integration with Keystone currently supports only Bitcoin and EVM-based chains (like Ethereum and compatible networks). This means that while OKX can interact with Solana or Tron via software wallets, those functions are not yet available when using a Keystone device.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
