# stx\_transferStx

Requests the connected wallet to sign and broadcast an STX token transfer transaction.

***

### Usage

```ts
import { request } from '@stacks/connect';

const result = await request('stx_transferStx', {
  recipient: 'SP2JXKMSH007NPYAQHKJPQMAQYAD90NQGTVJVQ02',
  amount: 1000000n, // 1 STX = 1,000,000 microstacks
  memo: 'Payment for services',
  network: 'mainnet',
});

console.log('Transaction ID:', result.txid);
```

#### Notes

* The `amount` is denominated in **microstacks** (1 STX = 1,000,000 microstacks).
* The `amount` accepts `number`, `bigint`, or `string` types. It is automatically serialized before being sent to the wallet.
* Unlike other STX transaction methods, `stx_transferStx` does **not** support `postConditions` or `postConditionMode`.

function request(
  'stx_transferStx',
  params: TransferStxParams

### Returns

`TransactionResult`

  txid?: string;
  transaction?: string;
}
```

| Property      | Type                | Description                                        |
| ------------- | ------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| `txid`        | `string` (optional) | The transaction ID of the broadcasted transaction. |
| `transaction` | `string` (optional) | The raw signed transaction hex.                    |

***

### Parameters

#### recipient (required)

* **Type**: `string`

The STX address of the recipient.

#### amount (required)

* **Type**: `Integer` (`number | bigint | string`)

The amount of microstacks to transfer. 1 STX = 1,000,000 microstacks.

#### memo (optional)

* **Type**: `string`

An optional memo string to include with the transaction (max 34 bytes).

#### address (optional)

* **Type**: `AddressString`

The recommended sender address to use. Wallets may not implement this for privacy reasons.

#### network (optional)

* **Type**: `NetworkString`

The network to use for the transaction (e.g. `'mainnet'`, `'testnet'`, `'devnet'`).

#### fee (optional)

* **Type**: `Integer` (`number | bigint | string`)

A custom fee to use for the transaction (in microstacks).

#### nonce (optional)

* **Type**: `Integer` (`number | bigint | string`)

A custom nonce for the transaction.

#### sponsored (optional)

* **Type**: `boolean`

Whether the transaction should be sponsored. If `true`, the transaction will not be broadcasted by the wallet but instead returned for sponsoring.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.stacks.co/reference/stacks.js/stacks-connect/methods/stx_transferstx.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
