Practical guides for sending Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and altcoins. Understand the network, check the destination, and know what happens after you press send.
Network guides · Wallet workflows · Cross-chain routes
One clear route. A deliberate check at every step.
Same intention. Different networks.
Choose the network you are sending on. Get the details that matter before you check an address or compare a fee.
Understand transaction inputs, change, fee rates and the difference between a broadcast and a confirmation.
Learn what changes between sending ETH and tokens, why gas matters, and how to confirm the receiving network.
Get clear on SOL, token accounts and transaction status before you move assets around the Solana network.
Fee currencies and transaction mechanics: Bitcoin developer guide, Ethereum gas guide, and Solana fee documentation.
Build a better sending routine
A crypto transfer is a set of decisions. The asset, the network, the recipient and the fee need to fit together before the final approval.
Use a repeatable sequence for every new destination. Then follow the transaction through the stages your recipient actually needs.
Follow the sending checklistRead the recipient’s current instructions. A familiar ticker or address format does not establish a supported route.
Verify the full receiving address and any required memo or tag against a trusted source.
Review the total amount and the fee currency. A token balance alone may not cover a network fee.
Keep the transaction reference. Network confirmation and an exchange’s account credit can be different stages.
When the destination is another network
Before a cross-chain send, identify what leaves, what arrives, and which contracts or providers connect the two. Compare the full journey, including custody, fees and the final receiving requirements.
The Altcoin Send Lab
Detailed guides to the decisions behind a transfer, from first-time sends to more complex routes.
Make your first altcoin transfer easier to follow. Work through the recipient's requirements, network choice, fee balance, test payment and final receipt before moving the rest.

Start with the fundamentals, then open the guide that matches your route.
Cross-chain reference: ethereum.org’s bridge introduction. Always check your receiving service’s current instructions.
The destination must support the exact asset and network. An address that passes a format check is not proof that the receiving wallet or service will accept that transfer. Start with the wallet and destination checks.
For ordinary self-custody transactions on Ethereum, gas is paid in ETH; on Solana, network fees are paid in SOL. Some services sponsor or abstract fees, so review the actual payer shown in your wallet. See the Ethereum and Solana guides.
Not necessarily. A receiving platform applies its own asset, network, confirmation and deposit rules before crediting an account. The exchange deposit guide explains that extra stage.
A cross-chain route needs a mechanism between networks. It can introduce additional contracts, service providers, custody assumptions and asset representations. Read the cross-chain overview before choosing a route.
