Transfer funds

This page covers how to transfer funds between two addresses. There are several ways to complete a transfer; pick the process that best fits your situation.

If you’re unsure which process to follow, the Substrate Explorer workflow is the easiest.

Substrate explorer

Prerequisites

To transfer funds, you must have the following:

• Access to at least 2 Entropy accounts, one of which must have funds.
• Access to the Polkadot.js explorer.
• A Polkadot.js compatible browser wallet. This guide uses the Polkadot.js Browser Extension as an example.

Steps

1. Import the addresses into the wallet. In the Polkadot{.js} Browser Extension, this can be done by selecting the plus + icon and clicking Import account from pre-existing seed:

   

2. Start the Substrate explorer and connect to the testnet.entropy.xyz:9944 network.

3. Select the Accounts dropdown and click Accounts.

   

4. A popup should display asking if you want to grant the Substrate Explorer access to your wallet. Click Yes, allow this application access.

   

5. Click Send on the account that you want to send funds from.

6. Select the account you want to send funds to in the send to address dropdown.

   

7. Enter the number of tokens you want to send. The minimum number you can send is 10000.

8. Click Make Transfer.

9. Review the details on this confirmation page and click Sign and Submit.

   

That’s it! The transaction will take up to 6 seconds to transfer funds from one account to another.
