# Submit a Transaction Using Polkadot Vault

Before you submit a transaction using Polkadot Vault & Nova Wallet, you must ensure that your Polkadot Vault Device has updated metadata for the chains on which you want to conduct transactions. You can use the Novasama Technologies Metadata Portal (<https://metadata.novasama.io>)  to find QR codes which will provide your Polkadot Vault Device with the information required to update the chain metadata.

## Process

When you use Nova Wallet to create transactions that are then signed by Polkadot Vault, you use the Nova Wallet interface as per the other sections in this wiki, with the additional step of signing the transaction on your Polkadot Vault.
