This page is maintained by the OK Recommend - OKX Registration Tutorial editorial team and cross-checked against platform rules, product docs and internal topic pages.
If platform rules change, treat the official documentation as the final source of truth.
If your real goal is to unlock the account after signup, this page is more useful than chasing a single verification button.
