How to send tokens from your GPEX wallet

  • Updated

What you’ll need:

  • The Ethereum wallet address of the recipient
  • A balance of the network native token (on Ethereum, ETH; on Binance Smart Chain, BNB; etc.) in your account sufficient to cover the gas fee. 

Note: If you are using a custom RPC network other than Ethereum Mainnet, please ensure you have the corresponding token needed for gas fees. For example, the BNB token is used as gas for the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) network, and MATIC is necessary for Polygon. For more information on networks other than Ethereum mainnet, see here.

Are you trying to send an NFT (an ERC-721 token?) If so, please follow this guide.

Steps:

Extension Mobile

  1. From the landing page of your wallet, make sure you're in the account from which you want to transact, and hit the 'Send' button in the middle of the screen.

  2. Now you need to input the public address of the recipient. If you already have addresses saved in your address book, they will appear at this stage.

  3. Enter the amount of tokens you want to send and click next.

  4. Now you're presented with the estimated gas fees of your transaction, which you can also adjust. Before clicking 'Confirm' to proceed with the transaction it is a good idea to double-check the recipient address.

  5. You will then be redirected to the main page where you can see a list of your recent transactions on the 'Activity' tab.

 

Notes

  • The number of tokens and your transaction fees (gas -- paid in ETH or the native token of the network, such as BNB or MATIC) will not be deducted immediately. The status of the transaction is pending, which means the transaction has been submitted to the blockchain network and is pending confirmation.
  • When the transaction is successful, you will see the updated amount of the token and ETH balances, as well as the status of the transaction updated to “Confirmed”.
  • If you click on the transaction under the Activity tab on GPEX, you can review the transaction information and have the option to view the transaction record on the network's block explorer, such as Etherscan, BscScan or Polygonscan. 
  • Sometimes, your transaction may take longer to confirm. When that happens, you'll have the option to Speed Up the transaction by re-submitting the (first pending) transaction with a higher gas price, or Cancel the transaction before it gets confirmed. Learn more about speeding up or cancelling a transaction. 
  • Please see How to deposit (receive) tokens to your GPEX wallet if you are looking to receive tokens.
  • This process is exactly the same for ETH as it is for other ERC-20 tokens, but always make sure that, when sending ERC-20 tokens, the receiving wallet supports the tokens you are sending.
