OKEx Pool mining
OKEx Pool enables cryptocurrency miners to earn cryptocurrency rewards via the act of mining. OKEx’s pool integrates mining and trading services by transferring the mining rewards directly to the users’ mining accounts. The pool also supports three settlement methods for mining rewards:
Full pay per share (FPPS)

While initial payment is not required for all proof-of-work cryptocurrencies, the settlement method and mining-fee rates vary among them. The table below is a summary of the available proof-of-work cryptocurrencies that you can mine at OKEx:
Below is a step-by-step guide on how to start mining cryptocurrencies and how to earn cryptocurrency rewards at OKEx Pool.
Step 1: Log in to your OKEx account
Go to the OKEx homepage and click Login at the top right corner to input your login details.
Step 2: Go to OKEx Pool
Navigate to More from the top menu on the OKEx homepage. Click on Pool under “Products” to go to the homepage for OKEx Pool.
Step 3: Set up your alias
On the homepage of OKEx Pools, click on Enter to set up your miner’s alias.
The alias should be a combination of 4–20 digits and/or letters. We use “patelokex123” as an example.
Step 4: Manage your mining dashboard
After choosing your alias, you will be directed to the mining dashboard.
In the dashboard, you can check your mining data and yield record — as well as manage your mining account.
Step 5: Confirm your mining settings
In the mining dashboard, go to “Mining” in the left bar and click on PoW, which is short for “proof-of-work.” Select Mining Settings to confirm your yield settings and fund arrival reminders.
Under “Yield Settings,” you can select your preferred SHA256 and Ethash payment tokens.
Step 6: Choose a cryptocurrency to mine
Go back to the homepage of OKEx Pool, accessible under “More” in the top menu. From here, you can look at all of the mining algorithms and mining tokens available at OKEx.
Click on the row of your preferred token to see more details. The dropdown displays the following information for each mining token:
Hash rate chart
Estimated daily yield
Mining fees
Settlement method and time
Initial payment
Mining addresses
You can choose the cryptocurrency to mine based on the above information.
Step 7: Connect your mining machine to OKEx Pool
We will use BTC mining as an example.
The mining of BTC requires ASIC mining machines. In this case, we use Antminer mining machines in order to connect to OKEx Pool.
First, you need to log in to your Antminer machine via Antminer’s website. After logging in, go to General Settings under “Miner Configuration.”
Under “Mining General Configuration, input the details in the “URL” and “Worker” fields. URL refers to the mining address of the cryptocurrency chosen by you. Worker refers to the worker name, which consists of the alias of the mining pool and the ID of the miner. You can ignore the “Password” field.
When everything is ready, click on Save & Apply.
Congratulations! Your mining machine is connected to OKEx Pool.
You can now earn crypto by mining at OKEx Pool!
