## What `spark_transfer` does

Calling this method prompts the user to:

1. Review the **recipient address** and **amount** of Spark BTC to send.
2. **Approve the transaction** in their Xverse wallet.
3. Upon approval, the transaction is **signed and broadcasted** to the Spark network.

The `spark_transfer` method returns a Promise that resolves to a `SparkTransferResult` :
