What Do I Need to Know About Sending Crypto Using a Tag?

Sending or receiving XRP on Pluang always requires a Tag, and you must copy it exactly alongside the recipient's wallet address, because a missing or wrong Tag can misroute your funds so they don't reach the recipient correctly. A Tag (also called a destination tag or memo) is an extra identifier that some networks use to direct a transfer to the right account behind a single shared address — so on these coins the address alone is not enough. On Pluang, XRP is the key case: the Tag is mandatory every time, whether you're sending or receiving. When you send XRP out to another exchange or wallet, you also need to check whether that destination requires a Tag and enter the exact one it specifies. Treat the Tag as being just as important as the address itself, and double-check both before you confirm — like all on-chain transfers, an XRP send can't be reversed once it's broadcast.

• XRP always requires a Tag on Pluang. Both sending and receiving XRP to or from Pluang require a Tag every time — it is mandatory, not optional.
• Copy the Tag exactly, with the address. A Tag and address travel together. Copy both precisely; a missing or mismatched Tag can send the funds to the wrong place behind a shared address.
• Check the receiving platform's Tag requirement. When sending XRP to another exchange or wallet, confirm whether that destination needs a Tag, and enter the exact value it specifies — don't guess.
• Some wallets don't use a Tag. A few wallets generate a unique address per user instead of relying on a Tag (Exodus is one example), so they don't require one.
• You must still fill the Tag field on Pluang. Because Pluang's send flow always requires the Tag field to be completed, when the destination doesn't use a Tag you can enter any value to proceed.
• The XRP Tag field accepts numbers only. For XRP specifically, the Tag field takes numeric characters — no letters or symbols.

Q: Is a Tag mandatory for every XRP transaction on Pluang?
Yes. Both sending and receiving XRP on Pluang always require a Tag — there is no way to skip it. The Tag is what directs the transfer to the correct account behind a shared address, so it is treated as an essential part of the transaction, not an optional extra. Always copy it exactly alongside the wallet address before you confirm.

Q: What happens if I send XRP without the correct Tag?
Your funds may not reach the recipient correctly. On networks that use a Tag, the identifier is what routes the transfer to the right account behind a shared address, so a missing or wrong Tag can misroute it. Because on-chain transfers can't be reversed once broadcast, always double-check that the Tag matches what the recipient requires before confirming the send.

Q: What if the receiving wallet or platform doesn't require a Tag?
Some wallets generate a unique address per user instead of using a Tag — Exodus is one example — so they don't require one. However, Pluang's send flow always requires the Tag field to be filled in, so in that case you can enter any value to complete the transaction. Still confirm the destination genuinely doesn't need a Tag before doing this.

Q: What characters can I use in the XRP Tag field?
Numbers only. For XRP specifically, the Tag field accepts numeric characters and does not take letters or symbols. If a destination gives you a Tag that isn't purely numeric, double-check you've been given the correct XRP destination tag, since the field on Pluang won't accept anything other than numbers.

Q: Is a Tag the same thing as a memo or destination tag?
Broadly, yes — they refer to the same concept: an extra identifier sent alongside the address to route a transfer to the right account behind a shared address. Different networks use different names for it. On Pluang, XRP uses a Tag, and the key rule is the same across the concept: copy it exactly with the address, and confirm whether the destination needs one before you send.
