# Transfer SOL and Tokens

Most app flows start with a wallet handle, then prepare one movement at a time.

## Start from a wallet handle

Attach to an existing wallet with the config address, wallet address, and the
authority that should sign on the client:

```typescript theme={null}
const wallet = swig.wallets.use({
  swigConfigAddress,
  walletAddress,
  requesterAuthority: {
    ed25519: {
      publicKey: userPublicKey,
    },
  },
});
```

The same handle shape works for `secp256k1` and `secp256r1` authorities too.

If you already have an IDP session, the same model works through
`swig.wallets.fromIdpSession(session)`.

## SOL transfer

```typescript theme={null}
const preparedTransfer = await wallet.transfer.sol({
  feePayer,
  destination,
  amount: 1_000_000n,
});
```

## Token transfer

Token transfers are owner-based. The backend derives the token program, source
ATA, destination ATA, and any destination ATA creation it needs.

```typescript theme={null}
const preparedTokenTransfer = await wallet.transfer.token({
  feePayer,
  mint,
  destinationOwner,
  amount: 10_000n,
});
```

## How to read the result

Prepared results are intentionally split:

| Field                         | Meaning                                                     |
| ----------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| `transactions`                | ordered transactions to submit                              |
| `clientAuthorityTransactions` | transactions that still need client authority               |
| `feePayerOnlyTransactions`    | transactions that only need fee payer or sponsor submission |
| `signatureRequests`           | per-transaction signature metadata                          |

## Submission

Use [Client Signing](/developer-sdk/client-signing) for the signing step, then
use [Sponsor & Submit](/developer-sdk/sponsor-and-submit) or your own send path
to finish submission.
