Deposit BTC from Phantom and OKX Wallet to XORA (2026)
Send native Layer-1 BTC from Phantom (Native SegWit bc1q or Taproot bc1p) or OKX Web3 Wallet to XORA with UTXO protection, no memo, and up to 14% APY.
To deposit Bitcoin (BTC) from Phantom or OKX Web3 Wallet into XORA, open /app#deposit-btc and copy your dedicated per-account native Bitcoin deposit address (zero memo or destination tag required). In Phantom (select native 'Bitcoin', spending from Native SegWit bc1q... or Taproot bc1p... with inscription UTXO protection active) or OKX Web3 Wallet (select native 'BTC' network, never wrapped EVM/Solana BTC), broadcast a small Layer-1 test transfer first (~10-30 minutes confirmation) before scaling size. Where enabled, XORA credits up to 14% variable BTC APY value with $0 XORA deposit fee. Rates are variable and not guaranteed; XORA is custodial, not a bank, and not FDIC or SIPC insured.

Selecting native Bitcoin instead of Solana or EVM wrapped BTC
Both Phantom and OKX Web3 Wallet are multichain self-custody wallets holding Solana SPL tokens, EVM ERC-20 assets, and native Layer-1 Bitcoin side by side. Before tapping Send, confirm you selected native 'Bitcoin (BTC)' (whose UTXOs sit on bc1q... or bc1p... addresses) rather than Coinbase Wrapped BTC (cbBTC), Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC), or xBTC on Solana, Ethereum, Base, or Arbitrum. Wrapped tokens live on incompatible smart-contract chains and cannot be sent to a Bitcoin mainnet address.
Phantom Native SegWit (bc1q) vs Taproot (bc1p) and Ordinals UTXO safety
Phantom creates two native Bitcoin address types per wallet: Native SegWit (bc1q..., typically preferred for everyday BTC spending with lower witness byte weight) and Taproot (bc1p..., commonly holding Ordinals inscriptions, BRC-20, or Runes). Both bc1q... and bc1p... inputs can send standard Layer-1 BTC cleanly to XORA's per-account Bitcoin deposit address, and Phantom automatically isolates inscribed UTXOs from spendable BTC so you do not accidentally burn collectibles.
OKX Web3 Wallet UTXO lock and custom sat/vB miner fee selection
In OKX Web3 Wallet, open Send -> BTC -> Bitcoin network and verify that 'UTXO Protection' remains enabled so any Ordinals or Runes satoshis stay locked out of your spendable balance. Paste your dedicated XORA Bitcoin address from /app#deposit-btc (no memo or tag exists on Layer-1 Bitcoin) and pick Medium/Normal or Fast sat/vB miner fee priority rather than ultra-low 1 sat/vB during mempool spikes so your deposit confirms in the next 1-3 blocks.
Small on-chain BTC test send and custodial yield disclosures
Send a small Layer-1 BTC test transfer above the Bitcoin dust threshold first, verify the TXID on mempool.space, and wait ~10-30 minutes for block confirmations and credit inside XORA before transferring larger capital. Where enabled, XORA quotes up to 14% variable BTC APY value with daily compounding and $0 XORA deposit fee. Rates are variable and not guaranteed; XORA is custodial, not a bank, and not FDIC or SIPC insured.

Send native Layer-1 Bitcoin (BTC) from your Phantom Bitcoin account (bc1q... or bc1p...) or OKX Web3 Bitcoin wallet. Never send Solana cbBTC/WBTC, Arbitrum/Ethereum WBTC, or OKX xBTC (0x... / SPL) to XORA's native Bitcoin address.
Checklist
- Open /app#deposit-btc in XORA and copy your dedicated per-account native Bitcoin deposit address.
- In Phantom or OKX Web3 Wallet, select native Bitcoin (BTC) rather than WBTC, cbBTC, or xBTC on Solana or EVM networks.
- Keep inscription/Ordinals UTXO protection enabled so only clean spendable BTC UTXOs are selected.
- Paste your XORA Bitcoin address and verify the first and last 6 characters match /app#deposit-btc.
- Choose Normal/Fast sat/vB miner fee priority and broadcast a small Layer-1 BTC test send first.
- Track the TXID on mempool.space (~10-30 minutes) until credited in XORA, then send the remaining BTC to the same XORA Bitcoin address.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I send BTC from either Phantom's Native SegWit (bc1q) or Taproot (bc1p) account to XORA?
Yes. Both Native SegWit (bc1q...) and Taproot (bc1p...) settle natively on Bitcoin Layer-1 mainnet and can send standard BTC directly to your XORA Bitcoin deposit address. Using Native SegWit (bc1q) typically saves ~25-35% in virtual byte miner fees compared with Taproot inputs.
Why does Phantom or OKX Wallet show a smaller 'Spendable BTC' balance than my total BTC?
Both wallets automatically quarantine UTXOs containing Ordinals inscriptions, Rare Sats, BRC-20, or Runes so you do not accidentally send collectibles as plain miner-spent satoshis. Only un-inscribed BTC UTXOs appear as spendable unless you manually unlock them.
Can I send cbBTC or WBTC from Phantom on Solana or Base to XORA's BTC address?
No. cbBTC and WBTC are smart-contract tokens on Solana or EVM chains; Phantom and OKX Wallet will reject a bc1... recipient on those networks, or wrapped funds sent to an incompatible bridge would be lost. Swap wrapped BTC to native Layer-1 BTC first.
Does XORA require a Memo or Destination Tag for Phantom or OKX Wallet BTC deposits?
No. Unlike pooled XRP or XLM accounts, XORA assigns a dedicated per-account native Bitcoin deposit address at /app#deposit-btc, so your BTC transfer is attributed automatically by address alone.
