Transfer
AlgoKit Task Transfer¶
The AlgoKit Transfer feature allows you to transfer algos and assets between two accounts.
Usage¶
Available commands and possible usage as follows:
$ ~ algokit task transfer
Usage: algokit task transfer [OPTIONS]
Transfer algos or assets from one account to another.
Options:
-s, --sender TEXT Address or alias of the sender account [required]
-r, --receiver TEXT Address or alias to an account that will receive the asset(s) [required]
--asset, --id INTEGER ASA asset id to transfer
-a, --amount INTEGER Amount to transfer [required]
--whole-units Use whole units (Algos | ASAs) instead of smallest divisible units (for example,
microAlgos). Disabled by default.
-n, --network [localnet|testnet|mainnet]
Network to use. Refers to `localnet` by default.
-h, --help Show this message and exit.
Note: If you use a wallet address for the
sender
argument, you'll be asked for the mnemonic phrase. To use a wallet alias instead, see the wallet aliasing task. For wallet aliases, the sender must have a storedprivate key
, but the receiver doesn't need one. This is because the sender signs and sends the transfer transaction, while the receiver reference only needs a valid Algorand address.
Examples¶
Transfer algo between accounts on LocalNet¶
$ ~ algokit task transfer -s {SENDER_ALIAS OR SENDER_ADDRESS} -r {RECEIVER_ALIAS OR RECEIVER_ADDRESS} -a {AMOUNT}
By default:
- the
amount
is in microAlgos. To use whole units, use the--whole-units
flag. - the
network
islocalnet
.
Transfer asset between accounts on TestNet¶
$ ~ algokit task transfer -s {SENDER_ALIAS OR SENDER_ADDRESS} -r {RECEIVER_ALIAS OR RECEIVER_ADDRESS} -a {AMOUNT} --id {ASSET_ID} --network testnet
By default:
- the
amount
is smallest divisible unit of suppliedASSET_ID
. To use whole units, use the--whole-units
flag.
