Transfer Tokens Skill
When to use this skill
Use this skill when the user wants to:
- •Send TRX to another wallet
- •Transfer TRC20 tokens (USDT, USDD, BTT, etc.)
- •Send tokens with memo/note
- •Check transfer costs before sending
Security features
🔒 Never handles private keys
- •Generates UNSIGNED transactions only
- •User signs in their own wallet (TronLink, etc.)
- •Pre-validates sufficient balance
- •Energy cost estimation
Supported transfers
- •TRX: Native TRON token
- •TRC20 tokens: USDT, USDD, BTT, JST, and any TRC20 contract
- •Auto-detects token type by address
How it works
- •Validation: Check sender has sufficient balance
- •Energy estimation: Calculate required energy
- •Transaction build: Create unsigned transaction JSON
- •Safety check: Warn if energy/bandwidth insufficient
Usage
python
from skills.transfer_tokens.scripts.build_transfer import build_transfer_transaction
tx = await build_transfer_transaction(
from_address="TYourAddress...",
to_address="TRecipient...",
token="TRX", # or TRC20 contract address
amount=10.5,
memo="Payment for services"
)
Parameters
- •from_address: Sender wallet address (tx signer)
- •to_address: Recipient wallet address
- •token: "TRX" or TRC20 contract address (e.g., "TR7N..." for USDT)
- •amount: Amount to transfer (in token decimals)
- •memo: Optional memo/note (only for TRX transfers)
Output
Returns unsigned transaction JSON:
json
{
"txID": "...",
"raw_data": {
"contract": [{
"parameter": {
"value": {
"amount": 10500000,
"to_address": "...",
"owner_address": "..."
}
}
}]
},
"metadata": {
"token": "TRX",
"amount": 10.5,
"recipient": "TRecipient...",
"estimated_energy": 0,
"estimated_bandwidth": 270
}
}
Important safety checks
⚠️ Before signing:
- •✅ Verify recipient address (double-check!)
- •✅ Confirm amount (decimal places matter!)
- •✅ Check you have enough TRX for energy/bandwidth
- •✅ For USDT transfers: ~14,000-32,000 Energy needed
Energy costs
| Transfer Type | Energy | Bandwidth | Typical Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| TRX | 0 | ~270 | FREE (if bandwidth available) |
| TRC20 (USDT) | 14,000-32,000 | ~350 | ~0.5-1.5 TRX (or rent energy!) |
💡 Tip: For USDT transfers, use the energy-rental skill first to save 70% on fees!
