Transfer Coins or Tokens

A transfer is a transaction, so it needs a key the user has supplied — see the transact skill for the authorisation model and the CLI form. Without a key you can prepare the transfer but not execute it.

CVM Coin Transfer

Source: (transfer #42 1000000000) — sends 1 CVM.

With a Convex MCP server configured, its transfer tool takes to (destination address) and amount (in copper).

Fungible Token Transfer

Source: (@convex.fungible/transfer #TOKEN #DEST AMOUNT)

With the MCP transfer tool, set the token parameter to the token actor address.

Before Executing

• Confirm destination and amount with the user. Restate both in CVM units — "send 2.5 CVM to #42" — and get agreement before signing. A transfer is irreversible.
• Convert to copper: multiply CVM by 1,000,000,000. Getting this wrong by a factor of 10^9 is the easiest and most expensive mistake here.
• Check the sender's balance first with a query, so a :FUNDS failure is caught before signing rather than after.
• For tokens, check the token balance, not the coin balance — they are unrelated.

Report the result in CVM units (e.g. "Sent 2.5 CVM to #42").
