Transfer Token

We mainly describe how to transfer 4 token types: TRX, TRC10, TRC20, TRC721

Transfer TRX

Tron supports transferring TRX by sending a TransferContract-type transaction. You can do it as follows:

const receiverAddress = '';
const amount = 1e6; // unit in sun.
const tx = await tronWeb.transactionBuilder.sendTrx(receiverAddress, amount);
const signedTx = await tronWeb.trx.sign(tx);
const result = await tronWeb.trx.sendRawTransaction(signedTx);

To transfer TRX easily, TronWeb offers the tronWeb.trx.sendTrx method, which handles the transaction creation and broadcasting for you.

Transfer TRC10 token

Tron supports transferring TRC10 token by sending a TransferAssetContract-type transaction. You can do it as follows:

const receiverAddress = '';
const amount = 100;
const tokenId = '1000086';
const tx = await tronWeb.transactionBuilder.sendToken(receiverAddress, amount, tokenId);
const signedTx = await tronWeb.trx.sign(tx);
const result = await tronWeb.trx.sendRawTransaction(signedTx);

To transfer TRC10 token easily, TronWeb offers the tronWeb.trx.sendToken method, which handles the transaction creation and broadcasting for you.

transfer TRC20 token

Transfer TRC20 token is as using triggerSmartContract method, see the example:

const functionSelector = 'transfer(address,uint256)';
const parameter = [{type:'address',value:'ACCOUNT_ADDRESS'},{type:'uint256',value:100}]
const tx = await tronWeb.transactionBuilder.triggerSmartContract('USDT_ADDRESS', functionSelector, {}, parameter);
const signedTx = await tronWeb.trx.sign(tx.transaction);
const result = await tronWeb.trx.sendRawTransaction(signedTx);
// the result looks like below:
{
  "result": true,
  "txid": "bea6cff8d62d62209f87810396a9a26802b93f566cb08f925ec91a071002060f",

    ]
  }
}

transfer TRC721 token(nft)

Call the transferFrom() function of the TRC721 contract for NFT transfers, see the example:

const { TronWeb, providers } = require('tronweb')

const HttpProvider = providers.HttpProvider;
const fullNode = new HttpProvider("https://nile.trongrid.io");
const solidityNode = new HttpProvider("https://nile.trongrid.io");
const eventServer = new HttpProvider("https://nile.trongrid.io");
const privateKey = "your private key";
const tronWeb = new TronWeb(fullNode,solidityNode,eventServer,privateKey);

async function trc721_transferFrom() {
    const trc721ContractAddress = "TRio4FwnDvtYN2ogss6Qm7Hn2EaTLwWMNs";//contract address

    try {
        let abi = [...];
        let contract = await tronWeb.contract(abi, trc721ContractAddress);
        //Use send to execute a non-pure or modify smart contract method on a given smart contract that modifies or changes values on the blockchain.
        // These methods consume resources(bandwidth and energy) to perform as the changes need to be broadcasted out to the network.
        await contract.transferFrom(
            "TA1g2WQiXbU5GnYBTJ5Cp22dvSjT3ug9uK", //address _from
            "TM8vRhebJD7zeoBLWAnr9SrYrhWNrHjBgC", //address _to
            666 //uint256 tokenId
        ).send({
            feeLimit: 100000000
        }).then(output => {console.log('- transferFrom hash:', output, '\n');});
    } catch(error) {
        console.error("trigger smart contract error",error)
    }
}
