# Transfer

`POST /v1/wallets/{wallet_id}/transfer`

Transfer tokens from a wallet to a destination address.

## Path parameters

- `wallet_id` string, required — ID of the wallet.

## Headers

- `privy-app-id` string, required — ID of your Privy app.
- `privy-authorization-signature` string — Request authorization signature. If multiple signatures are required, they should be comma separated.
- `privy-request-expiry` string — Request expiry. Value is a Unix timestamp in milliseconds representing the deadline by which the request must be processed.
- `privy-idempotency-key` string — Idempotency keys ensure API requests are executed only once within a 24-hour window.

## Request body

- TransferRequestBody — Request body for initiating a sponsored token transfer from an embedded wallet.
  - `amount` string — Amount as a decimal string in the token's standard unit (e.g. "1.5" for 1.5 USDC). For exact_input, the amount to send. For exact_output, the exact amount to receive. Takes precedence over source.amount when both are provided.
  - `amount_type` 'exact_input' | 'exact_output' — Whether the amount refers to the input token or output token.
  - `destination` TokenTransferDestination, required — The destination address for a token transfer. Optionally specify a different asset or chain for cross-asset or cross-chain transfers.
    - `address` union, required — Recipient address (hex for EVM, base58 for Solana, base58check for Tron)
      - string
      - string
      - string — Tron address: base58check-encoded, starting with T, 34 characters.
    - `asset` string — The destination asset. Required for cross-asset transfers (e.g., source 'usdt' to destination 'usdc').
    - `chain` string — The destination blockchain network. Required for cross-chain transfers (e.g., source 'base' to destination 'arbitrum').
  - `fee_configuration` object — Optional fee configuration for the transfer. If omitted, cross-chain transfers will not charge additional fees.
    - `type` 'total_fee_bps', required — Discriminator: total fee specified in BPS.
    - `value` integer, required — Total fee in basis points (1 bps = 0.01%).
  - `slippage_bps` integer — Maximum allowed slippage in basis points (1 bps = 0.01%). Only applicable for cross-chain or cross-asset transfers; omit to use the provider default.
  - `source` union, required — The source asset, amount, and chain for a token transfer. Specify either `asset` (named) or `asset_address` (custom), not both.
