Definitions#
Here we summarize some common parameters you will encounter when using OKX WaaS services. You can learn their definitions and usage scenarios.
accountId#
accountId is a unique identifier assigned by OKX WaaS to a wallet. Its function is to associate multiple chains and addresses for aggregated queries of assets and transaction history.
We provide two types of wallet accounts: user wallet accounts and watch-only wallet accounts.
User Wallet Account: Requires message signature for authentication, allows adding custom tokens, and can send transactions.
Watch-Only Wallet Account: Does not require message signature, defaults to displaying all tokens listed on the OKX platform, and cannot send transactions.
chainIndex#
chainIndex is the unique identifier for a blockchain within the OKX WaaS service. For chains following the EVM architecture and EIP-155 protocol, the standard chainIndex is used. For other chains like BTC and Solana that do not have a unified ID standard, we use the cointype parameter from the BIP44 specification as the chain identifier. In other special cases, we will ensure the uniqueness of the ID before assigning it. Example chainIndexes are as follows:
| Blockchain Network | chainIndex | eip155chainId |
|---|---|---|
| Bitcoin Mainnet | 0 | |
| Ethereum Mainnet | 1 | 1 |
| OP Mainnet | 10 | 10 |
| ZKSpace | 13 | |
| Flare Mainnet | 14 | 14 |
| Cronos Mainnet | 25 | 25 |

orderId#
orderId is a unique identifier assigned to each transaction within the OKX WaaS system. Using orderId for queries ensures that even if a transaction is not on the blockchain, it is recorded within the system, ensuring full visibility of the transaction process.
