Withdraw via Lightning to OKX

By the CloudMineCrypto teamUpdated 5 min read

The short answer

In your OKX account, open Deposit, choose BTC on the Lightning network and copy the deposit invoice or address. Then in CloudMineCrypto open Wallet → Withdraw, pick Bitcoin Lightning, paste it, enter at least 0.00000010BTC and confirm. A network fee of 0.00000005BTC is deducted (live, may change).

Key takeaways

  • Choose Lightning in both OKX and CloudMineCrypto. The networks have to match.
  • Copy a Lightning address (name@domain) or a Lightning invoice (starts with lnbc) from OKX; don’t type it by hand.
  • Lightning invoices can expire; a fixed-amount invoice must match the amount you withdraw.
  • OKX is an exchange: its own account checks and deposit rules apply.

How to withdraw to OKX via Lightning, step by step

Screenshots of OKX and of the CloudMineCrypto app. On the exchange’s mobile app some screens look different, but the menu names are usually the same.

  1. 1

    Open your OKX account

    Sign in to OKX, or open an account. Their official guide explains how.

  2. 2

    Copy your OKX deposit address

    Sign in, or follow the exchange’s steps to open an account, until you reach its main screen, like the one below.

    The exchange’s phone app can look a little different from its website. If you can’t find a step in the app, use the website instead.

    Follow the highlighted steps to start a deposit.

Definition · Lightning invoice

A one-time payment request, starting with lnbc, that can include a fixed amount and usually expires after a set time. A Lightning address (name@domain) works like a reusable email-style address instead.

OKX may show a Lightning invoice for a specific amount. If it does, withdraw exactly that amount from CloudMineCrypto, and create a fresh invoice if it expires before the request is processed. Lightning withdrawals have a maximum of 0.00004000BTC per request.

What happens after you confirm?

Your request is validated first. Most are processed automatically; some wait for a manual review (limits, anti-abuse checks or identity verification), which takes longer. Once sent, a Lightning payment usually arrives in seconds.

Why isn’t my Lightning withdrawal to OKX working?

  • “Below minimum amount”: the minimum for Lightning is shown under the amount field (currently 0.00000010BTC). Keep mining or check back once your balance is higher.
  • “Invalid address”: copy it again from OKX and check it is a Lightning address (name@domain) or a Lightning invoice (starts with lnbc).
  • Invoice expired or amount mismatch: create a new invoice in OKX; if it has a fixed amount, withdraw exactly that.
  • Received less than requested: the network fee (0.00000005BTC) is deducted from the amount sent. Compare amounts in the same unit (BTC vs sats).
  • Email or login errors: verify your email from the button next to the error, or add a Google or Apple login.

Still stuck? Email [email protected] with the network, wallet and time of the request. For deposits that OKX shows as received but hasn’t credited, contact OKX support.
