# How can I send Ordinals, how does it work?

### Sending an Ordinal

Hover over the ordinal in the collectables section and click the “send” button.

Add the address you want to send it to. Typically a Taproot address starting with *bc1p…*

### How are transaction fees paid?

Typically the surplus of the inscription is used to pay for the transaction fee. It may seem like it is being send for free. In the future you will be able to use BTC from the funding address or BTC in other Taproot addresses.
