# 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.
{% endhint %}

**Step 1**: On the SubWallet homepage, click the "**Send**" button at the upper right corner of the screen.

{% 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.

<summary>If you are in the "All accounts" mode</summary>

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.
