To transfer tokens from one address to another on Solana, you will need:
- The sending address
- The receiving address
- The amount of Solana
The Staking API manages the rest.
In the following guide we will illustrate how to transfer SOL.
Create New Transfer Flow
To initiate the transfer process with Staking API, create a new flow with POST /flows
.
URL
https://api.figment.io/flows
Request
protocol
* :string
Protocol on which this flow operates (ex.solana
).network
* :string
Network on which this flow operates (ex.mainnet
,testnet
).operation
* :string
The operation to perform (ex.transfer
).

}
Response
id
:string
ID of the flow.operation
:string
The Staking API operation being performed by this flow.state
:string
The current state of the flow.actions
:array
It includes thename
&inputs
of all next possible actions.create_transfer_tx
: Use this action to generate a transfer transaction to move SOL between accounts.funding_account_pubkey
: The public key of the wallet which will pay the transaction fee.from_account_pubkey
: The wallet that SOL will be originating from.to_account_pubkey
: The withdrawal address for the given validator.amount
: The amount of SOL to be transferred to the account. This field should be in full SOL, not in lamports (ie. if you want to transfer 5 SOL, return"amount": 5.0
). The Staking API will translate the amount to lamports so you do not have to worry about the conversion factor. Lamports are fractional SOLs.

Submit Transfer Data
After creating the new transfer flow, we need to submit the transfer data.
After collecting the required inputs as mentioned below, send a PUT
request to /flows/[:flow_id]/next
to proceed to the next step.

Submit Signed Transfer Transaction for Broadcast
Before broadcasting the transaction, you must sign the transaction_payload
you received in the previous step. After signing the transaction, send a PUT
request to /flows/[:flow_id]/next
and the Staking API will broadcast the transaction to the network.
The transaction signing window on Solana is sometimes less than 90 seconds.
If you encounter an error
"Transaction simulation failed: Blockhash not found"
, refresh the transaction, sign the newly created payload and submit it in < 90 seconds.
Request

* :sign_transfer_tx
inputs
* :object
transaction_payload
* : Signed transaction payload from the previous step's response.signatures

The signatures array can be used instead of sending a transaction payload when the signing keys are kept in a custodial solution, such as Fireblocks. Refer to the guide Signing Transactions with the Fireblocks API for details.
