• Cryptocurrency wallets are tools for storing cryptocurrencies, divided into hot wallets and cold wallets. Hot wallets are connected to the Internet for easy transactions and have low security; cold wallets are not connected to the Internet for high security but have troublesome transfers.

• Before transferring, you must clarify the type of wallet used and confirm the type of cryptocurrency it supports. At the same time, obtain the receiving address of the target wallet, which is composed of numbers and letters, and is generally generated by the wallet.

• Confirm wallet type : Verify that the cryptocurrency to be transferred can be received in the target wallet. Different wallets support different currencies. For example, some wallets may only support mainstream coins, which is incompatible with niche currencies.

• Obtain the receiving address : Obtain the receiving address from the target wallet in advance, and be sure to ensure that the address is accurate, otherwise the funds may be lost.

• Check the balance : Make sure the source wallet has enough balance to complete the transfer, while taking into account transaction fees. Some cryptocurrencies have higher transaction fees, which will affect the final transfer amount.

• Stay safe : Make sure that the device is not infected with viruses and use a secure network connection. Public networks are prone to attacks, leading to information leakage, and it is recommended to use private networks.

• Log in to the source wallet : Use account information to log in to the source wallet safely, pay attention to the password strength, and avoid using simple and easy-to-guess passwords.

• Select the transfer or send option : Find the transfer or send function in the wallet interface, usually in a prominent location, such as in the main interface menu.

• Enter the receiving address : Enter the target wallet receiving address accurately into the corresponding field, and you can copy and paste it to avoid manual input errors.

• Enter the transfer amount : Clearly define the amount of cryptocurrency you want to transfer, pay attention to the decimal point position, and prevent the amount from being incorrect.

• Pay transaction fees : Confirm and pay online transaction fees. The level of fees affects the speed of transaction confirmation. You can choose the appropriate fee according to your needs.

• Confirm transaction : After checking all information is correct, click Confirm or send. Some wallets may require a password or perform two-step verification, follow the prompts.

• Check the transaction status : After the transfer is completed, you can check the transaction status in the blockchain browser to confirm whether it is successful. The browser can display transaction progress, number of confirmations and other information.

• Confirm the receiving address : Check the receiving address of the target wallet carefully before sending. Any errors may cause funds to be lost and difficult to retrieve.

• Use a trusted wallet : Choose a trusted wallet and avoid unidentified or unverified applications in case of security vulnerabilities in the wallet.

• Avoid public networks : Try not to make large-scale transfers on public WiFi, as the public network is poor in security and is prone to hackers.

• Enable security features : If the wallet supports it, enable two-step verification or other security options to increase account security.

• Common reasons for failure of transfers :

• Input error : The main reason is that the input of the receiving address is incorrect. Pay attention to case distinction and check carefully.

• Insufficient balance : The wallet balance is not enough to pay the transfer amount and transaction fees, which will lead to the transfer failure and ensure that the balance is sufficient.

• Network problems : The network is unstable or slow, which may cause transaction confirmation to fail. Check the network connection before transferring.

• Improper transaction fee setting : The fee is too low, the transaction may be rejected by the network or delayed processing, and the fees can be appropriately increased.

• Contract issue : Based on the currency of smart contracts, contract settings or requirements mismatch will also lead to failure of transfers. You need to understand the contract rules.

• Solution :

• Check the wallet address : Check the address carefully before transferring money. You can use paste or scan the QR code to avoid manual entry errors.

• Reconfirm the balance : When the balance is insufficient, check the transaction history and wait for the transaction to be confirmed before transferring the money.

• Adjust transaction fees : If the transaction is not successful, you can consider increasing the fee resubmission to speed up the confirmation.

• Wait for patience : Network delay issues, stay patient and avoid repeated sending of transactions to avoid repeated deductions.
