# mega.transfer()

Send native ETH, ERC-20, ERC-721, or ERC-1155 transfers from the connected wallet. Returns a `TransactionResult` with status, receipt, and optional error. The wallet always prompts for transfers — for silent delegated execution, use [`callContract()`](/moss-docs/methods/methods/call-contract.md) with matching permissions.

## Signature

`mega.transfer(request: TransferRequest): Promise<TransactionResult>`

## Parameters

| Field             | Type                                              | Required | Notes                                                                                                 |

## Example

```typescript
import { parseEther } from 'viem';

const result = await mega.transfer({
  type: 'native',
  to: '0xRecipientAddress',
  amount: parseEther('0.1').toString(),
});

if (result.status === 'approved') {
  console.log(result.receipt?.hash);
} else if (result.status === 'cancelled') {
  console.log('User cancelled transfer');
} else {
  console.error(result.error);
}
```

## Response

```typescript
type TransactionResult = {
  status: 'approved' | 'cancelled' | 'error';
  receipt?: {
    hash: `0x${string}`;
    blockHash: string;
    blockNumber: number;
    chainId: number;
    gasUsed: number;
    logs: { address: `0x${string}`; data: `0x${string}`; topics: string[] }[];
    status: string;
    transactionHash: `0x${string}`;
  };
  receipts?: TransactionResult['receipt'][];  // populated for batch callContract
  error?: string;
  silentHasUsedFallback?: boolean;
};
```

| Status      | Meaning                                      | Action                             |
| ----------- | -------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- |
| `approved`  | Transaction confirmed                        | Use `result.receipt?.hash`         |
| `cancelled` | User rejected in-wallet confirmation         | Treat as neutral, reset UI         |
| `error`     | Operational failure (RPC, balance, contract) | Inspect `result.error`, show retry |

`silentHasUsedFallback` is set to `true` when `silent: true` was attempted on a `callContract()` call but fell back to UI approval — typically because the matching session permission had expired and `silentUIApproveFallback: true` triggered the fallback path.

## Notes

* Show amount, asset, and destination before opening the wallet.
* If the wallet is disconnected, prompt [`connect()`](/moss-docs/methods/methods/connect.md) first.
