2\) Select or paste in the `Recipient` address. Enter the amount of lcDOT you'd like to transfer. Click `Transfer`. It's recommended that you enable `Keep Alive` checks so that your lcDOT balance doesn't get removed due to low balance.

🚨 If you are pasting in an address, **PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK THAT IT PASTED CORRECTLY BEFORE SENDING.**
