Q: Can I use the same wallet for multiple chains?
A: Yes! Most Web3 wallets support multiple networks simultaneously. Just ensure you're on the correct network (OKTC) when transacting.
Q: What's the minimum OKT required to start?
A: We recommend holding at least 0.1 OKT for initial transactions, though gas fees typically cost much less.
Q: How do I know my transaction succeeded?
A: Use the OKTC Block Explorer to verify transactions by entering your wallet address or TX hash.
