# Moving Splintershards

## Claiming SPS <a href="#claiming-sps" id="claiming-sps"></a>

SPS earned from staked rewards and liquidity pools must be claimed before it is moved into your in-game/liquid balance (in Green below). SPS earned from Modern or Wild Ranked battles, Validator Node license rewards, Land, and Soulkeep will be directly added to your staked balance once you claim them (in Red below).

## Link External Wallets <a href="#link-external-wallets" id="link-external-wallets"></a>

You can link a BNB Smart Chain or Ethereum compatible wallet (Metamask recommended) to your Splinterlands account to move SPS between blockchains. Follow [this guide](https://docs.splinterlands.com/other-blockchains/binance-smart-chain-bsc/setting-up-bsc-on-metamask) to configure your Metamask wallet to interact with the BNB Smart Chain.

## Depositing SPS from an External Wallet <a href="#depositing-sps-from-an-external-wallet" id="depositing-sps-from-an-external-wallet"></a>

Ensure that all wallets with in-game assets are [linked to your account](https://docs.splinterlands.com/other-blockchains/linking-wallets).

To deposit SPS into your Splinterlands account, locate the **TRANSFER** button on the [SPS Management page](https://splinterlands.com/dashboard/sps).

Once you have clicked transfer, the transfer window will appear on your screen. Here you will first select where you are transferring the SPS **FROM** (in-game, Hive Engine, Ethereum, or BNB Smart Chain), then where are you are transferring to **TO** (if you select any of the 3 external wallets, it will default to in-game for this option). Then, enter the quantity of SPS to transfer, and click **Transfer**:

## Sending SPS to an External Wallet

If you would like to transfer SPS out of Splinterlands to an external wallet, use the same method as above, but for **FROM**, you will select “In-game”, and for **TO**, you will choose the external wallet (Hive Engine, Ethereum, or BNB Smart Chain), then click **Transfer**.
