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 stored private 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 is localnet.

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 supplied ASSET_ID. To use whole units, use the --whole-units flag.
