Tokens

Transfer tokens

Transfer moves balance the signing account already holds. Use issue when you want to mint new supply instead.

Usage

A transfer fails on the sidechain when the balance is short — the SDK builds and broadcasts the action, Hive Engine settles it.

TypeScript

await hive.issuer.token.transfer({
  from: hive.accounts.treasury,
  symbol: "MYTOKEN",
  account: "bob",
  quantity: "25.000",
  memo: "payout", // optional
});

await hive.keychainIssuer.token.transfer({
  username: "alice",
  symbol: "MYTOKEN",
  account: "bob",
  quantity: "25.000",
});
