# TAP F.A.Q.

Here's a good article explaining TAP, but I'll try to answer some common questions below

<https://medium.com/@dcicapital/tap-protocol-explained-aae9fb5740a0>

1. I see that I have a balance on the balance checker, but why do I not have an ordinal in my wallet matching that?
   1. TAP Protocol actually does not require each holder to have an ordinal describing the balance. I performed what was called a "token-send" operation, and that alerted the TAP Protocol and the chain that the ownership of tokens would change. You can still create a Transfer inscription like normal.&#x20;
