# Manage cross-chain tokens

By default, you can manage tokens on the DAO's home chain. You may also want to hold, spend, and stake tokens on other chains.

The first step is to [set up a cross-chain account](https://youtu.be/D4oiQl1Ne7k) on each chain you want to manage tokens on.

## Setup

[Create a proposal](/docs/dao-governance/proposals/how-to-create-a-proposal.md) and add the `Create Cross-Chain Account` action from the `DAO Treasury` category.

Simply select which chain you want to create an account on. You can even add multiple chains at once using the plus button on the right.

Once this proposal is passed and executed, the cross-chain accounts will be created. This may take a few minutes as chain relayers have to detect and relay the actions to the other chains.

## Sending tokens to a cross-chain account

Once you have created cross-chain accounts, they will appear in the `Treasury & NFTs` tab of the DAO's page.

Click on the address to the right of the chain you want to send tokens to in order to copy it. Just send tokens from your wallet to the corresponding address on the desired chain, and your DAO will receive them.

## Spending cross-chain tokens

Spending cross-chain tokens is as easy as spending on the DAO's home chain.

Check out the [How to send tokens](/docs/dao-management/treasury/send.md) guide to get started.

When you select the token you want to send, you will see a list of all tokens on all chains the DAO has an account on.

## Staking cross-chain tokens and earning rewards

Earning cross-chain staking rewards is as easy as staking on the DAO's home chain.

Check out the [How to stake tokens](/docs/dao-management/treasury/staking.md) guide to get started.

You can change the token you're going to stake in the action.

## 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://dao-dao-docs.gitbook.io/docs/dao-management/treasury/cross-chain.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.
