How Do I Send Crypto to Someone?

To send crypto, just tell Bankr what to send, how much, and where it should go — in plain English. No copy-pasting long wallet addresses unless you want to. An explicit transfer from your Bankr wallet goes out right away, so double-check the recipient before you ask. Bankr only asks first if the amount, token, or recipient is unclear, and every send must fit your spending limits.

How to Send a Transfer

• send 0.05 ETH to 0x1234...abcd

• send $50 of USDC to vitalik.eth

• send 100 BNKR to @bankrbot on base

• transfer $25 of ETH from base to my wallet on polygon

Supported Recipients

• Wallet addresses — paste any valid EVM or Solana address

• ENS names — like vitalik.eth; Bankr resolves them automatically

• X, Farcaster, and Telegram handles — Bankr sends to that account's Bankr wallet. If an X or Farcaster account doesn't have one yet, Bankr creates it; a Telegram handle must already have a Bankr wallet. Handles on different platforms only share a wallet if their owner has linked the accounts.

Cross-Chain Transfers

Bankr handles bridging for you:

• swap $50 USDC from polygon to ETH on base

• bridge 0.1 ETH from ethereum to base

Cross-chain transfers use bridge aggregators and can take a few minutes to settle depending on the chains involved.

Which Chains Support Transfers?

All eleven supported chains: Base, Ethereum, Polygon, Unichain, World Chain, Arbitrum, BNB Chain, Robinhood Chain, Arc, Solana, and Hyperliquid. Gas is sponsored on most EVM chains, up to a daily allowance — on Ethereum, Arc, and Solana, keep a small balance for gas. See Supported Chains on docs.bankr.bot for current per-chain details.

Good to Know

• If you don't specify a chain, Bankr picks the one where you have the highest balance.

• Every transfer goes through Bankr's security layer, which checks for malicious addresses and phishing attempts.

• Bankr blocks transfers to token contract addresses on EVM chains — tokens sent to a contract are usually lost forever. If you meant to convert one token into another, ask for a swap instead.

• Each transfer must be worth at least $0.05. Bankr values tokens by their market price, so a token with no market price anywhere (no liquidity, such as some collectibles) counts as $0 and can't be sent with a Bankr transfer right now.

Common Issues

• "Insufficient balance" — make sure you have enough of the token on the chain you're sending from.

• "Address not found" — check the handle spelling. A Telegram handle also needs an existing Bankr wallet.

• "Invalid address" — double-check the address or ENS name for typos, and make sure it matches the chain (Solana addresses use a different format).

• "Transfer below minimum" or "less than the required $0.05" — send a larger amount. If it says you're sending $0, the token has no market price, so Bankr can't send it (see Good to Know above).

• Transfer stuck — cross-chain bridges can take a few minutes. Ask Bankr to check the status.
