Transferring Coins
Kanari Network allows secure and transparent token transfers between accounts. This process is managed by the Move VM to ensure data integrity and security.
Transfer Overview
A transfer involves sending a specified amount of tokens from a sender's address to a recipient's address. Each transaction is recorded on-chain with a unique hash.
How to Transfer
To perform a transfer using the Kanari CLI, use the following command structure:
cargo run -p kanari -- transfer --to <RECIPIENT_ADDRESS> --amount <AMOUNT>Example
If you want to send 100 tokens to the address 0x123...abc:
cargo run -p kanari -- transfer --to 0x1234567890abcdef --amount 100Verification
After the transfer is completed, you can verify the new balances by listing the wallets:
cargo run -p kanari -- list-walletsSecurity Note
Always double-check the recipient's address before confirming the transfer. Transactions on the Kanari Network are immutable.
Transaction Metadata
Every transfer includes metadata that can be tracked:
- Sender Address: The source of the tokens.
- Recipient Address: The destination of the tokens.
- Amount: The quantity of tokens transferred.
- Timestamp: The exact time the transaction was recorded.
- Transaction Hash: A unique identifier for the transfer.
