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 directs 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, check whether that destination requires a Tag and enter the exact one it specifies.

Good to know:

• XRP always requires a Tag on Pluang — both sending and receiving XRP require a Tag every time; it is mandatory, not optional.
• Copy the Tag exactly, with the address — a Tag and address travel together; a missing or mismatched Tag can send 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 it needs a Tag and enter the exact value.
• Some wallets don't use a Tag — a few generate a unique address per user instead (Exodus is one example), so they don't require one.
• You must still fill the Tag field on Pluang — since the send flow always requires it, when the destination doesn't use a Tag you can enter any value to proceed.
• The XRP Tag field accepts numbers only — no letters or symbols.

Related questions:

Q: Is a Tag mandatory for every XRP transaction on Pluang?
Yes — both sending and receiving XRP always require a Tag. It directs the transfer to the correct account behind a shared address, so it's essential, not optional. 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, because the Tag routes the transfer to the right account behind a shared address. Since transfers can't be reversed once broadcast, double-check the Tag matches what the recipient requires before confirming.

Q: What if the receiving wallet or platform doesn't require a Tag?
Some wallets generate a unique address per user instead (Exodus is one example). Because Pluang's send flow always requires the Tag field, in that case you can enter any value — but confirm the destination genuinely doesn't need one first.

Q: What characters can I use in the XRP Tag field?
Numbers only — the XRP Tag field doesn't accept letters or symbols. If a destination gives you a Tag that isn't numeric, double-check you have the correct XRP destination tag.

Q: Is a Tag the same thing as a memo or destination tag?
Broadly yes — they're the same concept: an extra identifier sent with the address to route a transfer to the right account behind a shared address. On Pluang, XRP uses a Tag; copy it exactly with the address and confirm whether the destination needs one.
