Transferring DOT is a simple process. We will collect:
- The address from which DOT is transferred.
- The account that will sign the transaction.
- The address to which DOT is transferred.
- Amount of DOT to be transferred.
In the following guide we will illustrate how to transfer DOT between accounts.
Create New Transfer Flow
To initiate the transfer process, create a new flow with a POST request to /api/v1/flows.
URL
https://polkadot-slate.datahub.figment.io/api/v1/flows
Request
flow:objectnetwork_code* :stringNetwork this flow operates on (ex.polkadot).chain_code* :stringChain this flow operates on (ex.westend).operation* :stringThe operation to perform (ex.transfer).

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 /api/v1/flows/[:flow_id]/next with the signed payload. The Staking API will broadcast the transaction to the Polkadot network.
