If you're a Solana or Sui blockchain user currently relying on Phantom Wallet, you may be looking for a more versatile, multichain solution. OKX Wallet offers seamless compatibility with over 130 blockchains—including Solana and Sui—making it an ideal upgrade. This guide walks you through the secure process of importing your Phantom Wallet into OKX Wallet using your recovery phrase, whether you're using the mobile app or browser extension.
By transferring your wallet, you gain access to a broader ecosystem of decentralized applications (dApps) such as Jupiter, pump.fun, and Cetus—without losing any of your existing assets, including tokens, NFTs, or staked positions.
Step 1: Retrieve Your Phantom Wallet Recovery Phrase
Your 12-word recovery phrase is the key to accessing your digital assets across compatible wallets. It's crucial to handle this information securely, as anyone with access to it can take control of your funds.
For Phantom Browser Extension
- Open Phantom Wallet
Launch the Phantom extension in your preferred browser (e.g., Chrome or Firefox). - Access Account Settings
Click the account icon in the top-left corner to open the side menu. Then, select the "Manage Accounts" icon at the bottom left. - Select the Desired Account
Choose the specific account from which you want to export the recovery phrase. - View Recovery Phrase
Tap “Show Recovery Phrase” and enter your wallet password when prompted. - Securely Record the Phrase
Write down the 12 words in exact order on paper. Avoid digital storage methods like screenshots, notes apps, or cloud services to prevent exposure to hackers.
🔐 Never share your recovery phrase with anyone. Legitimate platforms like OKX will never ask for it.
For Phantom Mobile App
- Launch the App
Open the Phantom Wallet app on your iOS or Android device. - Open Side Menu
Tap the account icon in the top-left corner and select the account you wish to export. - Edit Account Details
Tap the edit (pencil) icon next to your account name. - Reveal Recovery Phrase

Step 2: Import Your Recovery Phrase into OKX Wallet
With your recovery phrase safely recorded, you’re ready to import it into OKX Wallet. The process is nearly identical across platforms.

On the setup screen, choose “Import wallet.” - Select Import Method
Tap “Seed Phrase or private key.” - Enter Recovery Phrase
Carefully type in all 12 words in the correct order. Double-check for spelling errors. - Set Up Security

Once confirmed, your wallet will sync automatically, and your Solana and Sui assets should appear shortly.
Using the OKX Mobile App
- Download the App
Get OKX Wallet from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android). - Open the Application

Step 3: Verify Your Imported Assets
After importing, confirm that all your assets are visible:
- Navigate to the wallet dashboard.
- Ensure the network is set to Solana or Sui, depending on your assets.
- Check balances for tokens, staked positions, and NFTs.
If some assets don’t appear immediately:
- Confirm Network Selection: Manually switch networks if needed.
- Check Derivation Paths: While OKX uses standard BIP44 paths compatible with Phantom, rare cases may require adjustments—refer to OKX’s help center for guidance.
- Refresh or Re-scan: Some NFTs may need manual refreshing under the NFT section.

Security Best Practices
Protecting your crypto starts with how you manage your recovery phrase:
- ✅ Store it offline—never digitally.
- ✅ Keep multiple physical copies in secure locations (e.g., fireproof safe).
- ❌ Never share it via message, email, or phone call.
- ❌ Avoid typing it on untrusted devices or public networks.
- 🔁 Regularly verify backup integrity.
Remember: Your recovery phrase = full ownership of your assets.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Here are answers to frequently encountered problems during wallet migration:
Why aren’t my assets showing up?
Ensure you're viewing the correct blockchain (Solana/Sui). If still missing, double-check that you entered the correct recovery phrase and that it corresponds to the wallet holding those assets.
Can I import only part of my wallet?
No—importing via recovery phrase brings in all accounts derived from that seed. You cannot selectively import addresses.
Is my staked SOL transferred too?
Yes. Staked positions remain on-chain and will be reflected in OKX Wallet once synced. However, unstaking actions must be performed within supported dApps.
Will I lose access to Phantom after importing?
No. Both wallets will control the same underlying keys. You can continue using Phantom unless you choose to deactivate it—but be cautious about signing transactions from both wallets simultaneously.
What if I forget my OKX Wallet password?
You can recover access by re-importing your recovery phrase. Always keep it secure and accessible.
Does OKX Wallet support Sui NFTs and tokens?
Yes. OKX Wallet fully supports Sui’s Move-based assets, including NFTs and DeFi tokens, allowing direct interaction with Sui dApps.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Is it safe to import my Phantom Wallet into OKX Wallet?
A: Yes, as long as you follow security best practices and perform the import on a trusted device using official apps.
Q: Do I need to move my funds manually after importing?
A: No. Your assets remain on-chain; importing only gives OKX Wallet access to view and manage them using your private keys.
Q: Can I use OKX Wallet on multiple devices with the same recovery phrase?
A: Yes. Simply import the same phrase on each device—just ensure each has strong local security enabled.
Q: Will my transaction history transfer over?
A: Transaction history is not stored in wallets directly. You can view past activity via blockchain explorers linked in OKX Wallet.
Q: Does importing affect my NFT ownership?
A: No. NFTs stay on-chain and will display in OKX Wallet once properly synced under the correct network.
Q: Can I reverse the import process?
A: There’s no “reverse” action—but you can always return to Phantom Wallet by re-importing the same recovery phrase there.
This migration enhances your Web3 experience by combining Phantom’s user-friendly design with OKX Wallet’s multichain power and integrated dApp browser—ideal for active Solana and Sui users.
