Open the asset, tap Send, enter the amount and the recipient address, then check everything on the Review send screen and tap Send. A sent transaction cannot be cancelled or reversed, so check the address, the network and the memo first.
On this page
Sending moves an asset from your wallet to another address on the same network. The transaction is final once the network has confirmed it.
Before you start
- Get the recipient address and confirm the network with the recipient. The address must belong to the same network as the asset you send.
- Ask if a memo or destination tag is required. Exchanges usually show it next to the deposit address.
- Keep some of the network's native coin for the fee, for example ETH, SOL, TRX or BNB.
- For a first transfer to a new address, send a small test amount first.
Steps
- On the Wallet screen, tap the asset you want to send, then tap Send.
- Enter the amount and tap Next.
- Enter the recipient under Address or Domain. You can paste it, scan a QR code with the scan icon, or pick a saved contact with the contacts icon.
- If the recipient requires it, fill in the memo field (see below). Tap Next.
- Review send opens with a warning. Read it and tap Next.
- Check the amount, From, To, Network and the fee. Tap Send.
- THORWallet broadcasts the transaction and shows the result. Tap Follow Transaction to open it in a block explorer.
In the web app: open Wallet, click Send and follow the same steps.
With a multi-device vault, your other devices must approve before the transaction is sent. See Multi-device vaults.
Memo and destination tag
THORWallet shows a memo field only on networks that use one.
| Network | Field in THORWallet | What to enter |
|---|---|---|
| XRP | Memo (optional) | The destination tag from the recipient. |
| Stellar (XLM) | Memo id or Memo text | The memo from the recipient. A memo ID is a whole number. |
| Cosmos Hub (ATOM), THORChain (RUNE), Maya (CACAO), Dash | Memo (optional) | The memo from the recipient, if any. |
For XRP, THORWallet checks the recipient address. If that address requires a destination tag and the field is empty, the app tells you and does not let you continue.
Checks the app makes
- Invalid address. THORWallet rejects an address that does not match the network of the asset.
- Risk warning. THORWallet may warn you about an address. Check the address again before you continue.
- Inactive XRP or Stellar address. A new address on these networks needs a first deposit of at least 1 XRP or 1 XLM.
- Account reserve. XRP and Stellar keep a small reserve in your own account. You can send only the balance above it.
- Flagged tokens. A token flagged as malicious shows a warning. Do not interact with tokens you did not expect to receive.
These checks do not prove that an address is the right one. Compare the first and last characters with the address the recipient gave you, every time.
Fees
Sending costs only the network fee of the chain. The review shows it as TX Fee in USD. It is paid in the native coin of the network and goes to the network, not to THORWallet. On TRON the fee can be covered by your energy and bandwidth.
If something goes wrong
"Invalid address"
The address does not belong to this network. Ask the recipient for the address on the network of your asset, or choose the asset on the network the recipient uses.
"Not enough ... to cover this transaction and its network fee"
Reduce the amount or add more of the network's native coin.
"Failed to load fees"
The app could not reach the network. Wait a moment and try again.
The transaction failed
If the result says the transaction failed on-chain, the funds were not moved, but the network fee was spent. If it says the transaction was not included, nothing was sent and you can try again.
The transaction is pending or missing
See How to check the status of a transaction.

Common questions
Can I cancel or reverse a sent transaction?
No. Once the network has accepted a transaction, nobody can cancel or reverse it, including THORWallet. Only the recipient can send the funds back.
Why does the app say there is not enough gas?
The network fee is paid in the native coin of the network, for example ETH on Ethereum, Arbitrum and Base or TRX on TRON. Add some of that coin and try again.
Does THORWallet charge a fee for sending?
No. Sending costs only the network fee of the chain.
When do I need a memo or destination tag?
When the recipient asks for one. Exchanges often require a destination tag for XRP and a memo for Stellar or Cosmos deposits. Without it the exchange may not credit the deposit.
I sent to the wrong address. Can THORWallet get it back?
No. THORWallet does not control the funds and cannot reverse a transaction. If the address belongs to an exchange or a person you know, contact them.
Can I send to an ENS name?
Yes, for assets on Ethereum. Enter the name ending in .eth and THORWallet resolves it to an address. Check the resolved address before you send.
Thank you.
