# Move funds

> How Move funds in tango.finance bridges stablecoins between networks, sells a stock into another network's stablecoin, or buys a stock with stablecoins from elsewhere, in one transaction.

Move funds takes money from one network to another in a single transaction from your wallet. You can bring stablecoins to the network where a stock is offered, sell a stock straight into another network's stablecoin, or buy a stock with stablecoins you hold elsewhere. A third-party route carries out the move, and the app shows every detail of it before you confirm.

> **Key points**
>
> - A move starts and ends in your own wallet. Your wallet signs one transaction on the network you send from.
> - One end of a move is always a stablecoin. You can move stablecoins, sell a stock into stablecoins elsewhere, or buy a stock with stablecoins from elsewhere, but not swap one stock for another.
> - Every quote shows the minimum you receive, the maximum slippage, the route's fees and the expected time.
> - A move can take a while to arrive, and if a route cannot finish it, it may refund you on the network you sent from.

## Where you find it

- In [Portfolio](https://app.tango.finance/positions), choose Move funds under your total balance, or Move on a stock's row.
- In the Buy dialog, when you have none of the network's stablecoin and moves reach that network, choose Move funds here.

## Moves you can make

| From | To | What happens |
| --- | --- | --- |
| A stablecoin on one network | A stablecoin on another | Your stablecoin is bridged to the other network |
| A stock on one network | A stablecoin on another | The stock is sold, and you receive the other network's stablecoin |
| A stablecoin on one network | A stock on another | You receive the stock, bought with your stablecoin |

The From and To pickers list every place a move can start or end, labelled with the token and its network, such as "AAPL on" a network's name. Only pairs that connect are offered. Some networks appear only for their stablecoin, as places to bring money from or send it to.

## How a move works

1. Choose From and To, and enter how much to send, or choose 25%, 50%, 75% or Max of your balance.
2. Read the estimate under You receive, and every row below it.
3. Choose Move. The app gets a fresh quote, then asks your wallet to approve the token if needed, then to send the move, on the network you send from.
4. The dialog follows the move until the route reports it arrived, failed or was refunded. Once the move is sent, you can choose Dismiss; it carries on without the dialog.

What you receive arrives in the same wallet, on the other network.

## What each row means

| Row | What it tells you |
| --- | --- |
| Minimum received | The least the move can deliver. If the route would deliver less, it does not complete |
| Max slippage | How far below the quote the result may fall. The app sets it |
| Fees | Every fee the route reports, as a share of what you send. "Unavailable" if the route does not say |
| Time | How long the route expects the move to take |
| From and To | The two networks |

As with Buy and Sell, the quote refreshes while the dialog is open, and the app checks each quote before showing it. See [Buy and sell](https://app.tango.finance/docs/app/buy-and-sell.md#what-each-row-means).

## After you send

| Status | What it means |
| --- | --- |
| Moving | The route is carrying out the move |
| Move complete | It arrived, and the dialog shows what you received |
| Still on its way | It is taking longer than the dialog waits. The route carries on, and what you receive reaches your wallet on the other network when it finishes |
| Refunded | The route could not finish, and returned your funds to your wallet |
| Did not go through | The move failed |

Your balances refresh as soon as the transaction leaves the first network.

## What can go wrong

A move depends on a third-party route and on both networks. A route can be slow, refund the move or fail, and its fees and timing are its own. If no route can make a move at your size, the app says so and you can try another amount. See [Risks](https://app.tango.finance/docs/vault/risks.md#other-risks).
