A memo or tag is typically a numeric string which is used to accurately identify the recipient of a transaction on a centralized exchange. This detail is required for crypto which uses Destination Tag technology, such as Ripple (XRP), Stellar (XLM), Cosmos (ATOM) etc.
When you deposit crypto to your OKX portfolio, you must enter the designated memo or tag, in addition to the deposit address. Failure to do so may cause your crypto to be lost permanently.
