# Swaps, Transfers & Deposits

Beyond trading on the [Marketplace](/pawtato-land/gameplay/marketplace-and-exchange/marketplace.md) and [Exchange](/pawtato-land/gameplay/marketplace-and-exchange/exchange.md), Pawtato Land gives you three more economy tools: **Swap** (exchange on-chain tokens), **Transfer** (send to other players), and the **TATO Bridge** for getting TATO into and out of the game.

{% hint style="info" %}
📍 **Jump in:** Open the [Swap](https://pawtato.gg/?sw=1), [Transfer](https://pawtato.gg/?tr=1) or [Deposit & Bridge](https://pawtato.gg/?td=1\&tbc=Bridge) in Pawtato Land.
{% endhint %}

## Swap

The **Swap** screen lets you exchange on-chain tokens — most commonly buying **TATO with SOL**. It supports both **SUI** and **SOLANA**: a chain toggle at the top lets you pick which network to swap on.

* On **SOLANA**, Swap embeds the **Jupiter** swap widget, pre-set to swap **SOL → TATO** (you can change the tokens inside the widget). A small referral fee, taken in SOL, applies to the swap.
* On **SUI**, Swap uses Pawtato's own on-chain swap.

Swapping happens entirely on-chain, so it uses a connected wallet through the widget. This is how you acquire TATO in your **wallet**; to then move it into the game, use the **TATO Bridge** below.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Swap** trades tokens in your wallet on-chain. It is separate from **Convert**, which swaps in-game resources for one another on the [Exchange](/pawtato-land/gameplay/marketplace-and-exchange/exchange.md).
{% endhint %}

## Transfer — send to another player

**Transfer** lets you send things directly to another player, with no listing or sale involved. Open it with the **Send** button on any resource or item in your **Backpack**, or from the Transfer screen's sidebar. There are two modes:

* **Transfer Resources** — send fungible resources (including TATO).
* **Transfer Tools** — send Tools and Equipment.

In every case you find the recipient by **searching for their name** — start typing a player's **Nickname** and pick them from the results (the most recently-active players show first). You always send to a player, never to a wallet address, so set a **Nickname** to be findable.

{% hint style="info" %}
The recipient box searches by **name** only — a numeric User ID typed in won't match. Some in-game links (such as a Pledge's **Transfer to user**) instead pre-select the recipient for you.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
A small **TATO fee** applies to each transfer — one fee per resource transfer, and one fee **per item** when sending Tools or Equipment. The total fee is shown before you confirm, and drawn from your in-game TATO balance.
{% endhint %}

### How to send resources (step by step)

1. Open [**Transfer**](https://pawtato.gg/?tr=1) and select **Transfer Resources** (or hit **Send** on a resource in your Backpack).
2. Under **You transfer**, choose the resource and enter a whole-number amount — use the **25% / 50% / 75%** buttons or click your balance for the maximum.
3. In the **Recipient** field, type the player's **name** and pick them from the search results.
4. Review the fee note, then click **Transfer Resource** and confirm.

### How to send Tools or Equipment (step by step)

1. Open **Transfer** and select **Transfer Tools**.
2. Tap the item cards you want to send — a check mark marks each selected item, and your picks appear under **Selected Items**.
3. In the **Recipient** field, search the player's **name** and pick them from the results.
4. Review the per-item fee total, then click **Transfer … Item(s)** and confirm.

{% hint style="info" %}
Items that are broken, staked, equipped, attuned, in cooldown or under repair can't be sent until they're free. Tapping one shows a note explaining why.
{% endhint %}

## Funding TATO into the game

TATO you hold in your **wallet** isn't yet spendable in Pawtato Land — the game spends from your **In-Game Backpack**. The **TATO Bridge** moves TATO between the two. Open it from **TATO Swap & Bridge** in your Assets sidebar, or from any **Deposit More** button the game shows when you're short on TATO.

### Deposit from your wallet (step by step)

1. Open the [**TATO Bridge**](https://pawtato.gg/?td=1\&tbc=Bridge).
2. Pick the chain your TATO is on — **SUI** or **SOLANA** — and connect that wallet.
3. Make sure the direction reads **Transfer TATO from your wallet to your in-game Backpack** (the deposit direction).
4. Enter an amount, or use the **25% / 50% / 75%** buttons.
5. Click **Deposit TATO** and approve in your wallet.
6. Keep the window open while it shows **Verifying deposit…** — once the on-chain transfer is confirmed, the TATO lands in your Backpack.

{% hint style="info" %}
Closed the window too early, or did the credit step fail? Your on-chain deposit is safe — see [Resume a Deposit](/pawtato-land/gameplay/marketplace-and-exchange/resume-a-deposit.md) to finish crediting it (this also covers **Land** and **Hero** NFT deposits).
{% endhint %}

### Withdraw back to your wallet

The same screen withdraws TATO from your Backpack back to your connected wallet, on **either chain** — pick **SUI** or **SOLANA** with the same chain selector you use to deposit, connect that wallet, and switch the direction to withdraw. A **daily withdrawal limit** applies (shown on the screen), and only **sellable** TATO can leave — **soulbound** TATO stays in-game.

The limit is a **rolling 24-hour window**, not a fixed daily reset: each withdrawal counts against your allowance until 24 hours after you made it, at which point that amount frees up again. It is denominated in **USD**, so the TATO amount it corresponds to moves with the live TATO price.

Once you have withdrawn something within that window, the screen shows how much of the allowance is **left today**, and the amount field is capped at that remaining headroom rather than at the full limit — so the maximum you can enter is always an amount the withdrawal will actually accept.

#### Minimum withdrawal

Every bridge-out pays a **network fee** regardless of how much it moves, so a dust-sized exit costs more to settle than it is worth. Each withdrawal must therefore be at least **$1 worth of TATO**.

Like the daily limit, the minimum is denominated in **USD**, so the TATO amount it corresponds to moves with the live TATO price. The form converts it for you at the current price and **rounds up to a whole TATO** — the figure it shows is always a number the withdrawal will accept. You'll find it in the helper text under the button, and below the floor the button itself locks and reads **Minimum … TATO**.

#### New accounts: a 10-day wait

TATO withdrawals are **locked for the first 10 days after you sign up**. An on-chain exit can't be undone, so brand-new accounts are held back long enough that farmed or fraudulently funded balances can still be caught while they're in-game.

While the lock is on, the withdraw button reads **Unlocks in …** with the remaining time, and the helper text names the rule. **Deposits and in-game spending are unaffected** — only moving TATO out to your wallet waits.

{% hint style="info" %}
Depending on your account and platform, you may also see options to **buy TATO with a card** (a card checkout that credits TATO straight to your Backpack) and a **Cross-Chain** bridge that moves TATO between **Sui and Solana**. Availability of these varies; the standard way to fund the game is the wallet **Deposit** flow above.

This page covers the in-game mechanics of moving and funding TATO. For how TATO works as a token — supply, staking, revenue share and burns — see the [TATO documentation](https://docs.pawtato.gg/token).
