Sending USDC

Use the 
npx awal@latest send
command to transfer USDC from the wallet to any Ethereum address or ENS name on Base.

Confirm wallet is initialized and authed

bash
npx awal@latest status
If the wallet is not authenticated, refer to the 
authenticate-wallet
skill.

Command Syntax

bash
npx awal@latest send <amount> <recipient> [--chain <chain>] [--json]

Arguments

ArgumentDescription
amount
Amount to send: '$1.00', '1.00', or atomic units (1000000 = $1). Always single-quote amounts that use 
$
to prevent bash variable expansion. If the number looks like atomic units (no decimal or > 100), treat as atomic units. Assume that people won't be sending more than 100 USDC the majority of the time
recipient
Ethereum address (0x...) or ENS name (vitalik.eth)

Options

OptionDescription
--chain <name>
Blockchain network (default: base)
--json
Output result as JSON

Examples

bash
# Send $1.00 USDC to an address
npx awal@latest send 1 0x1234...abcd

# Send $0.50 USDC to an ENS name
npx awal@latest send 0.50 vitalik.eth

# Send with dollar sign prefix (note the single quotes)
npx awal@latest send '$5.00' 0x1234...abcd

# Get JSON output
npx awal@latest send 1 vitalik.eth --json

ENS Resolution

ENS names are automatically resolved to addresses via Ethereum mainnet. The command will:
  1. Detect ENS names (any string containing a dot that isn't a hex address)
  2. Resolve the name to an address
  3. Display both the ENS name and resolved address in the output

Prerequisites

  • Must be authenticated (
    npx awal@latest awal status
    to check, 
    npx awal@latest awal auth login
    to sign in, see skill 
    authenticate-wallet
    for more information)
  • Wallet must have sufficient USDC balance (
    npx awal balance
    to check)

Error Handling

Common errors:
  • "Not authenticated" - Run 
    awal auth login <email>
    first
  • "Insufficient balance" - Check balance with 
    awal balance
  • "Could not resolve ENS name" - Verify the ENS name exists
  • "Invalid recipient" - Must be valid 0x address or ENS name
