# stx\_transferStx

You can use the `stx_transferStx` method to request a transfer of any amount of Stacks to any recipient from the user's wallet.

<table><thead><tr><th width="221">Request parameters</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><code>amount</code></td><td><p></p><p>a string representing the amount of STX tokens to transfer, in microstacks units. (Anything parseable by <code>BigInt</code> is acceptable)</p></td></tr><tr><td><code>recipient</code></td><td>a string representing the recipient's Crockford base-32 encoded Stacks address</td></tr><tr><td><code>memo</code></td><td><span data-gb-custom-inline data-tag="emoji" data-code="2139">ℹ️</span> Optional<br>a string representing the transaction memo</td></tr></tbody></table>

```typescript
  import { request } from "sats-connect";
  
  try {
      const response = await request("stx_transferStx", {
        recipient,
        amount: Number(amount),
        memo,
      });
      if ("result" in response) {
        alert(response.result.txid);
      } else {
        alert(response.error.message);
      }
    } catch (error) {
      console.error(error);
      alert(error.message);
    }
  };
```

The user will be prompted to review the Stacks transfer transaction in the wallet, with the recipient, memo and amount to send. Xverse browser extension UI shown as example:

The transaction will be signed and broadcasted upon user approval.

The `stx_transferStx` method returns a Promise that resolves to the `TransferStxResult` object:

<table><thead><tr><th width="162">Property</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><code>txid</code></td><td>a hex-encoded string representing the ID of the transfer STX transaction signed</td></tr><tr><td><code>transaction</code></td><td>a hex-encoded string reperesenting the transfer STX transaction signed</td></tr></tbody></table>
