# Sending Tokens

Use the `fdx call transferTokens` command to transfer tokens from the wallet to any address on any supported EVM chain or Solana.

## Confirm wallet is authenticated

```bash
fdx status
```

If the wallet is not authenticated, refer to the `authenticate` skill.

## Check Balance Before Sending

Always verify the wallet has sufficient balance before initiating a transfer:

```bash
fdx call getWalletOverview --chainKey <chain>
```

## Sending Tokens

```bash
fdx call transferTokens \
  --chainKey <chain> \
  --recipientAddress <address> \
  --amount <amount>
```

## Examples

### Send native tokens

```bash
# Send 0.1 ETH on Ethereum
fdx call transferTokens \
  --chainKey ethereum \
  --recipientAddress 0x1234...abcd \
  --amount 0.1

# Send 1 SOL on Solana
fdx call transferTokens \
  --chainKey solana \
  --recipientAddress AbCd...1234 \
  --amount 1
```

### Send ERC-20 tokens

```bash
# Send 100 USDC on Ethereum (specify token contract)
fdx call transferTokens \
  --chainKey ethereum \
  --recipientAddress 0x1234...abcd \
  --amount 100 \
  --tokenAddress 0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48

# Send 50 USDC on Base
fdx call transferTokens \
  --chainKey base \
  --recipientAddress 0x1234...abcd \
  --amount 50 \
  --tokenAddress 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913
```

### Send with memo

```bash
fdx call transferTokens \
  --chainKey ethereum \
  --recipientAddress 0x1234...abcd \
  --amount 10 \
  --tokenAddress 0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48 \
  --memo "Payment for invoice #42"
```

## Flow

1. Check authentication with `fdx status`
2. Check balance with `fdx call getWalletOverview --chainKey <chain>`
3. Confirm the transfer details with the human (amount, recipient, chain, token)
4. Execute with `fdx call transferTokens`
5. Report the transaction result to the human

**Important:** Always confirm the recipient address and amount with your human before executing, especially for large amounts. Blockchain transactions are irreversible.

## Prerequisites

- Must be authenticated (`fdx status` to check, see `authenticate` skill)
- Wallet must have sufficient balance on the target chain
- If sending insufficient funds, suggest using the `fund-wallet` skill

## Error Handling

- "Not authenticated" — Run `fdx setup` first, or see `authenticate` skill
- "Insufficient balance" — Check balance with `getWalletOverview`; see `fund-wallet` skill
- "Invalid recipient" — Verify the address format matches the target chain
