Theory

Transfers are used to send tokens from one account to another. You can make transfers using Polkadot.js apps, Polkaswap, and the SORA mobile application.

The transfer logic is implemented in the assets pallet. SORA supports multiple assets and every asset can be transferred.

Transferring is a transaction so the network fee must be paid. The fee is calculated in XOR so even if you transfer VAL, PSWAP, or any other token you should have some XOR to cover the fee. The transfer fee in SORA is 0.0007 XOR

Practice

We recommend using the SORA testnet for practice exercises. Here are the Testnet links:

  1. Polkaswap test application
  2. Polkadot js SORA testnet application
  3. Android testnet application
  4. iOS testnet application

Getting test tokens

You can practice with transfers using test tokens in the SORA testnet. Open the faucet

Untitled

Enter your SORA address, select the token, and the number of tokens you need.

Then click Send testnet VAL (XOR, PSWAP).

<aside> ⚠️ Keep in mind that every transaction in SORA requires a fee in XOR. Transferring is a transaction so don't forget to request a few XORs from the faucet.

Sending tokens in the Polkaswap web application

The Polkaswap web application has a wallet that you can use for sending tokens. Just open the Account section and click on send icon (arrow near the asset)

Enter the recipient address and amount of tokens that you'd like to send
