Send a Transaction

PreviousInterface OverviewNextReceive a Transaction

Last updated 23 days ago

To initiate a transaction, you will need the following information at hand:

  • Your recipient's wallet address

  • The amount of R5 coins to send

On the "send transaction" screen, write or paste the wallet address you want to make a payment to, and the amount to pay:

You do not need to fill out the "Gas Price" and/or the "Max Gas" to send your transaction. These fields are calculated automatically based on the network traffic and current fee market. If you want to populate these fields, make sure you know what you are doing, otherwise your transaction will likely fail you you may overpay for your transaction fees.

After clicking on the "send transaction" button, you will be prompted to confirm your transaction. On the prompt you will also be able to see how much your transaction is anticipated to cost. You can click on "Confirm & Proceed" to broadcast your transaction to the network.

After confirming, you will see a screen that will display the progress of your operation. It includes 4 steps: 1. the application packages and prepares the transaction; 2. the transaction is broadcasted to the network and the application awaits for a response; 3. the response is received and the application interprets it (basically differentiating between failed and successful transactions); and 4. the application displays the result with either more information about why the transaction failed, or your confirmation receipt (hash).

If your transaction is successful, you will something similar to the screen below, where you will be given your receipt hash. You can send this hash to your recipient as proof that the transaction was sent. With it, they will be able to retrieve all the transaction information - such as amount sent, timestamp, etc - using a block explorer (eg. ).
