# MIM Beaming

Here are the steps to beam your MIM tokens from one chain to another:

1. Navigate to [app.abracadabra.money](https://app.abracadabra.money)
2. Under the "More" section, find the "Beam" button.

2. In the beaming interface, select the origin and destination chains, and input the amount of MIM tokens you want to beam.

3. If you're beaming from Ethereum mainnet, you'll need to approve MIM tokens for the transaction.
4. Click the "Beam" button. \
   This action will cost you some gas, like every transaction, but will also cost you some native tokens (e.g., FTM for Fantom, ETH for Ethereum mainnet…) to pay for the transaction on the other chain.\
   This cost is highlighted under "Estimated gas cost" and depends on the chains you're coming from as well as as the chain you're beaming to.
5. (Optional) Receive gas on the destination chain:\
   If you want some gas on the destination chain (because you've never used it for example), you can clic on the gear icon and beam some gas in the same transaction! It will automatically convert some gas on the chain you're on and send it on the destination chain<br>

6. (Optional) Set a custom recipient:\
   If you want to beam MIM to another chain and have it land in another wallet of your choice, click the wallet icon next to the settings button.\
   It'll add a custom recipient field allowing you to chose who receives the MIM on the other side!<br>
7. The user interface will display beaming information and automatically update when the beaming has been successfully completed.<br>

That's it! In no time you'll magically receive your MIM on the destination chain.

## 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.abracadabra.money/learn/intro/tools/mim-beaming.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.
