# IBC Token Recovery

IBC tokens from Cosmos SDK chains such as ATOM, GRAV, and OSMO can only be bridged to the Canto EVM if they were transferred to Canto from their native chain. While the [**app.canto.io**](https://app.canto.io/bridge) frontend ensures this, *manual* IBC transfers may result in these and other unsupported tokens being sent to Canto.

To retrieve these assets, use the IBC token recovery tool:

1. Navigate to [**app.canto.io/bridge**](https://app.canto.io/bridge) and select the `recovery` tab. **This tab will only be visible if the connected wallet contains assets not supported by the Canto EVM.**
2. Click the `recover` button next to the asset you would like to retrieve. Optionally, users can override which network the asset will be sent to, although this is not advised.
3. In the modal that appears, enter your address on the receiving network and click `confirm`:

## 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.canto.io/technical-reference/architecture-and-design/ibc-token-recovery.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.
