# Cross-chain transfer
{% hint style="info" %}
"**Cross-chain transfer**" refers to the process of transferring tokens between different networks for enhanced collaboration and decentralized exchange.

**Step 1**: On the SubWallet homepage, click the "**Send**" button at the upper right corner of the screen.
The Transfer screen will popup on the right side.
{% hint style="warning" %}
If you are in Single-account mode, make sure the account you initially chose is not watch-only.
{% endhint %}
**Step 2:** Enter the required information in the corresponding fields.

{% step %}
First, you will need to select the token you want to transfer and the destination network to which you want your tokens transferred.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
Next, select the recipient address and the amount you want to transfer.
In the "**To**" field, you can select one account from the account list or paste a valid address.
{% hint style="info" %}
With this type of transfer, you can select the same account for both the sender and recipient.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="info" %}
From version v1.3.3 onwards, we have introduced a new feature: **Advanced address detection**.
This feature, when enabled, will allow you to enter any Substrate-based address for transactions. This means you are no longer restricted to using only the fixed addresses from your account list; for example, you can input an Acala address as the recipient address when transferring VARA tokens rather than just using the VARA address.
{% hint style="warning" %}
However, we strongly recommend not using this feature if you aren't an expert in transactions on the Polkadot ecosystem, as transferring to the wrong address will result in loss of funds.

{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
If you are in the "All accounts" mode
In this case, in addition to the above information, you will also need to choose the sender's address.
{% hint style="warning" %}
Note that transferring tokens cross-chain to a centralized exchange (CEX) address will result in loss of funds. This is because these CEXs may not recognize or properly credit deposits made to their wallet addresses.
If you face this situation, it is recommended that you contact their support team as soon as possible.
{% endhint %}
Below is the complete transfer request. Once done, click "**Transfer**".
**Step 3**: Check your transaction details, then click "**Approve**" to proceed.
**Step 4**: Your transaction request has been submitted!
You can either click "**Back to home**" to return to the homepage or "**View transaction**" to see transaction details in the History tab.
{% hint style="info" %}
If you click "**View transaction**", SubWallet will show you the latest transaction record in your transaction history along with the extrinsic hash of the transfer.
