Transferring Conflux (CFX) tokens from a centralized exchange like OKX to your personal wallet is a fundamental step for anyone engaging with the Conflux ecosystem. Whether you're planning to participate in decentralized applications, stake your tokens, or simply maintain full control over your assets, understanding the secure and efficient transfer process is essential. This guide walks you through the complete workflow of moving CFX from OKX to either a Fluent wallet or MetaMask connected to Conflux eSpace, while ensuring security, accuracy, and speed.
The steps are straightforward but require attention to network details—especially distinguishing between Conflux Core and Conflux eSpace. Getting this wrong could result in lost funds, so it's crucial to follow each instruction carefully.
Prerequisites for Transferring CFX
Before initiating any withdrawal, ensure you meet the following requirements:
- An active OKX account with verified access to withdrawal functions.
- At least 0.1 CFX traded on OKX, using either the CFX/ETH or CFX/USDT trading pair. This may be required by exchange policies to unlock certain features.
- Completed KYC verification, if necessary, to enable withdrawals.
A compatible wallet set up:
- For Conflux Core: Use the Fluent browser extension or a Ledger device.
- For Conflux eSpace: Set up MetaMask with Conflux eSpace network support.
🔍 Tip: Not sure how to connect MetaMask to Conflux eSpace? You can easily add the network manually using the official RPC settings, or install the Fluent wallet which natively supports both networks.

How to Transfer CFX from OKX to Fluent Wallet (Conflux Core Network)
Fluent Wallet is one of the most user-friendly tools designed specifically for interacting with the Conflux blockchain. It supports both Core and eSpace networks and integrates seamlessly with dApps.
Follow these steps to withdraw CFX from OKX to your Fluent wallet via the Conflux Core network:
- Log in to your OKX account using secure credentials. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) if not already active.
- Navigate to Assets > Withdraw in the main menu.
- In the "Select cryptocurrency" field, type CFX and select it from the dropdown list.
- Choose On-chain as the withdrawal method. Avoid using third-party networks or wrong chain options.
- Open your Fluent wallet and copy your Conflux Core address (starts with cfx:). Make sure you're copying the correct format and not an Ethereum-style address.
- Paste the copied address into the recipient field on OKX.
- Enter the amount of CFX you wish to transfer. Double-check that you leave enough balance to cover transaction fees.
Review all transaction details, including:
- Recipient address
- Network (must show Conflux Core)
- Withdrawal fee
- Estimated arrival amount
Confirm the transaction by entering:
- Your funds password
- Email verification code
- Google Authenticator or TOTP code
- Click Submit Request.
- Wait for confirmation. Depending on network congestion, CFX should appear in your Fluent wallet within minutes.
✅ Success! You've now securely transferred CFX from OKX to your Fluent wallet on the Conflux Core network.
⚠️ Never share your private keys or recovery phrase. Always verify addresses before confirming transactions.
How to Transfer CFX from OKX to MetaMask (Conflux eSpace Network)
Conflux eSpace is EVM-compatible, meaning you can use familiar tools like MetaMask just as you would on Ethereum or BSC. This makes it ideal for developers and users already embedded in the broader DeFi ecosystem.
To send CFX from OKX to MetaMask via Conflux eSpace, follow these steps:
- Log in to OKX securely.
- Go to Assets > Withdraw.
- Search for CFX in the cryptocurrency selection field.
- Select On-chain as the withdrawal method.
Switch your MetaMask wallet to the Conflux eSpace network. If not already added, configure it manually using:
- Network Name: Conflux eSpace
- RPC URL: https://evm.confluxrpc.com
- Chain ID: 1030
- Symbol: CFX
- Block Explorer: https://evm.confluxscan.net
- Copy your MetaMask account address (starts with 0x).
- Paste it into the recipient address field on OKX.
- Enter the desired withdrawal amount.
Carefully review:
- Correct network (eSpace, not Core)
- Address accuracy
- Transaction fee
Finalize by entering:
- Funds password
- Email OTP
- 2FA code
- Submit the request.
- Monitor your MetaMask balance—CFX should arrive shortly after blockchain confirmation.
🎉 Congratulations! You've successfully bridged your assets from a centralized exchange into an EVM-compatible self-custody wallet.
👉 Discover how easy it is to start interacting with DeFi using your CFX.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What’s the difference between Conflux Core and Conflux eSpace?
A: Conflux Core is the native blockchain layer using a unique Tree-Graph consensus and addresses starting with cfx:. Conflux eSpace is EVM-compatible, allowing Ethereum-like interactions with 0x-prefixed addresses. Choose based on your use case—Core for native apps, eSpace for DeFi and smart contracts.
Q: Can I send CFX from OKX directly to any wallet?
A: Yes, but only if the wallet supports the correct network (Core or eSpace). Sending to an incompatible network may result in permanent loss of funds.
Q: Why does my withdrawal take so long?
A: While Conflux processes transactions quickly, delays can occur due to exchange processing queues or incorrect fees. Most transfers complete within 10–30 minutes.
Q: Are there withdrawal fees when transferring CFX from OKX?
A: Yes, OKX charges a small network fee based on current congestion. This is standard and helps prioritize your transaction on-chain.
Q: Is it safe to withdraw large amounts of CFX?
A: Always test with a small amount first. Ensure your wallet is legitimate, your device is secure, and never expose sensitive information during transfers.
Final Tips for Secure Transfers
- Always double-check recipient addresses—even one incorrect character can lead to irreversible loss.
- Use trusted devices and avoid public Wi-Fi when handling crypto transactions.
- Keep software updated: Ensure your browser, wallet extensions, and authenticator apps are current.
- Store recovery phrases offline and never digitize them.
Whether you're building on Conflux, participating in governance, or exploring DeFi opportunities, having your CFX in a personal wallet gives you full autonomy and access.
