# Cross-chain Swaps

Talisman’s Cross-Chain Swap feature allows you to move assets between different blockchains in a simple and reliable way. It supports Bittensor, Ethereum, Polkadot and more - allowing you to swap from one network to another directly in the Portal without needing separate wallets, manual bridges, or multiple extra steps. In the Portal, you can select your source chain, destination chain, and asset in just a few clicks.

1. To select the asset you’d like to pay with, click Select Token as outlined in the image below

5. Select your destination address and ensure that it matches the network of the asset you will receive. In this case, we will receive TAO and our destination address should be a Substrate address. Once you’re satisfied with the details, select Swap.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.talisman.xyz/talisman/introduction/talisman-portal/cross-chain-swaps.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
