What is a Withdrawal Whitelist?
To enhance security in withdrawal processes, OKX has introduced the withdrawal address whitelist feature. When activated, this function restricts withdrawals exclusively to addresses already saved in your address book. To withdraw to a new address, you must first add it to your address book. This whitelist mechanism provides maximum protection for your assets.
Step-by-Step Guide to Using Withdrawal Whitelist

Assets → Withdraw.

Select Currency & Network
- Choose the cryptocurrency (e.g., USDT).

Enable Whitelist Mode
- Click the address book icon next to Withdrawal Address or the "Enable Whitelist" prompt.
- Toggle on Address Whitelist Mode and select an existing address from your book.
Add New Addresses (If Needed)

Key Notes
- ⚠️ Whitelist Restrictions: In whitelist mode, withdrawals are only permitted to saved addresses. Manual address inputs are disabled until the whitelist is turned off.

Security Tip
Closing the whitelist requires email and mobile verification for added security.
