OKX Adds LSK ERC-20 Support: How to Avoid Wrong-Network Deposits
OKX has opened LSK deposits on Ethereum and plans ERC-20 withdrawals for September 21. Here is how to avoid wrong-network deposits and troubleshoot missing LSK.

Direct answer: OKX Europe opened LSK deposits on Ethereum (ERC-20) on September 18, 2026 and says ERC-20 LSK withdrawals will open at 14:00 UTC on September 21. If you are moving LSK to or from OKX, verify that both the sending wallet and receiving platform are using the Ethereum ERC-20 version of LSK. Do not send legacy Lisk-chain LSK to an Ethereum deposit address.
What changed for LSK on OKX?
OKX announced new support for LSK deposits and withdrawals over Ethereum. Deposits opened September 18 at 02:00 UTC; withdrawals are scheduled for September 21 at 14:00 UTC. This matters because Lisk has been transitioning away from its former standalone chain toward Ethereum-based infrastructure, so users may encounter multiple references to LSK networks while moving funds.
Which network should you choose?
For the new OKX route, choose Ethereum (ERC-20) only when the withdrawal screen and receiving address explicitly identify LSK on Ethereum. Network labels must match at both ends. An Ethereum address beginning with 0x does not prove that every token or network is supported by the destination.
Before depositing LSK to OKX
Open the LSK deposit page inside the official OKX app or website, select the Ethereum network, copy the current address, and compare the network label again before sending. If your LSK is still on a legacy chain or another representation, do not assume it can be sent directly. Check the migration or bridge path published by Lisk or the platform holding your tokens.
Before withdrawing LSK from OKX
Wait until the ERC-20 withdrawal route is shown as available. Confirm the destination supports the same ERC-20 LSK contract and Ethereum network. Consider a small test transfer when practical, especially when moving to self-custody.
Why can an LSK deposit appear missing?
A deposit can remain uncredited when the exchange has not reached its confirmation threshold, when the transaction was sent on a different network, when the token contract is unsupported, or when wallet maintenance is in progress. First locate the transaction hash in an Ethereum explorer. If it is confirmed on-chain but not credited after the exchange confirmation requirement, collect the transaction hash, deposit address, amount and timestamp before contacting support.
What if you sent LSK on the wrong network?
Do not send another transaction to “unlock” the first one and never pay a stranger claiming they can recover it. If the destination is a custodial exchange, only that exchange can determine whether unsupported-network recovery is possible. If the destination is your own self-custody address, recovery may depend on whether the same private key controls the corresponding address on the network you actually used.
Scam warning during network migrations
Token migrations attract fake support accounts and fake swap portals. Never reveal a seed phrase or private key. Verify contract addresses and migration instructions through official project and exchange pages, not links sent in DMs or search ads.

FAQ
When do LSK ERC-20 withdrawals open on OKX?
OKX says withdrawals open at 14:00 UTC on September 21, 2026.
Can I send old-network LSK to the new OKX Ethereum address?
Do not assume so. The new route is explicitly Ethereum ERC-20. Verify the network and any required migration path first.
My LSK transaction is confirmed but not credited. What should I do?
Check the network, token contract and confirmation count, then provide the transaction hash and deposit details to official OKX support if the deposit remains missing.
