Transfer a ERC20 token
How to perform a fungible transfer. E.g transfer an ERC20 token from one wallet to another.
Intro
It is not possible to transfer value from a wallet without the approval of the user. Therefore to be able to transfer a token, we will need to do two things: i) create the transfer and ii) ask the user for his approval.
The object that can ask the user for his approval is called a Signer, once we've created a Signer object we can use the Signer to perform the token transfer.
To perform actions on a wallet , such as transactions or signatures, the wallet has to be linked to your application. The easiest way to link a wallet to your application in to use getAccount flow. The benefits of using the getAccount flow is that this flow bundles multiple actions into one call.
Function:
//Asking the signer to transfer a certain value to a certain destination.
venlyConnect.signer.executeTokenTransfer({
walletId: '<WALLET_ID>',
to: '<BLOCKCHAIN ADDRESS>',
value: 3.1415,
tokenAddress: '<TOKEN_BLOCKCHAIN ADDRESS>',
secretType: '<BLOCKCHAIN>',
})
Example:
Address
const venlyConnect = new VenlyConnect('YOUR_CLIENT_ID');
//Asking the signer to transfer ERC20 token to a blockchain address.
venlyConnect.signer.executeTokenTransfer({
walletId: '71dec640-4eb8-4321-adb8-b79461573fc4',
to: '0xf147cA0b981C0CD0955D1323DB9980F4B43e9FED',
value: 1010,
tokenAddress: '0x02f96ef85cad6639500ca1cc8356f0b5ca5bf1d2'
secretType: 'ETHEREUM',
})
Email
const venlyConnect = new VenlyConnect('YOUR_CLIENT_ID');
//Asking the signer to transfer ERC20 tokens to an email address
venlyConnect.signer.executeTokenTransfer({
walletId: '71dec640-4eb8-4321-adb8-b79461573fc4',
to: 'john.smith@gmail.com',
value: 1010,
tokenAddress: '0x02f96ef85cad6639500ca1cc8356f0b5ca5bf1d2'
secretType: 'ETHEREUM',
})
The destination of a token transfer is not limited to a blockchain address, we also support email addresses and Unstoppable domains.
Returns:
{
status: "SUCCESS",
result: {
id: "be702332-8821-460c-982e-4b47d2aa4e6c",
transactionHash: "0x6838028fddf9fae2dbedfdafc117372279169832951e633079cc96a91466e550"
}
}
