# Transfer

{% hint style="warning" %} <mark style="color:orange;">**Be Careful:**</mark> \ <mark style="color:orange;">If you're using an inscription service, exercise additional caution. Some tools might inscribe the token to their own address first and then forward it to you.</mark> \ <mark style="color:orange;">However, if the intermediate inscription service's address doesn't have a balance, the transfer function is wasted. It's like playing fetch with a ball that gets lost in the bushes.</mark> \ <mark style="color:orange;">Additionally, some ordinal wallets generate a different address each time.</mark>&#x20;
{% endhint %}

\
Make sure to send to the address that holds the balance, similar to making sure your Shiba Inu is where you're throwing the ball.
