This guide walks you through the complete process of creating an IM group, distributing red packets, and helping others join and claim them—all using OKX Pay’s intuitive features.
Creating an IM Group via Pay
Before sending a red packet, you’ll first need a group chat where participants can interact. OKX Pay allows you to create and manage private IM groups with ease.
Step-by-Step Group Creation
- Open the Chat Interface in Pay
Launch OKX Pay and navigate to the chat section. From here, you can initiate a new group conversation. - Invite Members and Assign Admin Rights
You have the ability to invite specific users into the group. As the creator, you act as the default node administrator and can designate other group admins to help manage membership and permissions. - Generate and Share an Invite Code
Tap the group settings icon to generate a unique group invite code or shareable link. This ensures controlled access—only those with the code can join. - Distribute the Invite
Every group member can share the invite code or link with others, enabling organic community growth while maintaining security through verified access.

Joining an IM Community to Receive Red Packets
For users who are new to OKX or have been invited to a group, joining and claiming red packets is straightforward—but requires a few key steps.
How New Users Can Join
- Scan the Invite Code
Using a mobile device, scan the provided group QR code with your phone’s native camera or QR scanner. - Register an OKX Account
If you don’t already have an account, you’ll be prompted to complete registration through the OKX platform. This process is secure and only takes a few minutes. - Automatic Group Access
Upon successful registration, you’ll be automatically added to the IM group associated with the invite code.
⚠️ Note: Only users invited by a verified node can join via scanning. General public links are not permitted—ensuring privacy and exclusivity within each community.
👉 Join active digital communities and start claiming red packets in minutes.
Claiming Red Packets in the IM Group
Once inside the group, receiving red packets is effortless.
Steps to Receive Funds
- Look for red packet notifications or messages in the chat feed.
- Tap on the red packet icon.
- Instantly receive the allocated amount directly into your OKX wallet.
The distribution logic depends on how the sender configured it:
- Random allocation: Each recipient gets a varying amount.
- Fixed amount: All participants receive equal shares.
There’s no additional verification needed—just one tap and the funds are yours.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Can anyone join an IM group and claim red packets?
No. Only users who have scanned a valid invite code from a node or admin can register and join. This restriction prevents spam and unauthorized access.
Q2: Is there a fee for sending or receiving red packets?
Sending and receiving red packets through OKX Pay typically incurs no additional service fees. However, standard blockchain network fees may apply depending on asset type and network congestion.
Q3: What types of digital assets can be sent as red packets?
Currently, supported assets include major cryptocurrencies and stablecoins available within the OKX ecosystem. These may include USDT, ETH, BTC, and other compatible tokens.
Q4: How fast are red packet funds available after claiming?
Funds are credited instantly upon claiming. They become immediately available in your OKX wallet balance for use, transfer, or withdrawal.
Q5: Can I send a red packet to individuals instead of groups?
At this time, the red packet feature is designed for group interactions only. For one-on-one transfers, use the standard send/receive function in OKX Pay.
Q6: What happens if I don’t claim a red packet on time?
Unclaimed red packets may expire after a set period. When that happens, unclaimed funds are typically returned to the sender’s wallet automatically.
