OPALE

Send tokens

📨 Send Tokens transfers Universal Protocol tokens (e.g. $LOL, $WTF) to any Bitcoin address. It’s a direct token transfer — no marketplace, no operator fee, just a Bitcoin transaction the indexers recognize as a transfer.

To withdraw BTC instead, see withdraw BTC.

The button flow

Section titled “The button flow”

  1. Tap 💰 Wallet, then 📨 Send Tokens. OPALE shows your top holdings as buttons.

  2. Tap a holding. Or pick from the full list.

  3. Set the amount. Type a number, or tap a preset percentage.

  4. Paste the recipient’s Bitcoin address when OPALE prompts you.

  5. Read the send quote. OPALE shows the token amount, the destination (full address, untruncated), the small BTC postage that goes to the recipient with the transfer, and the network fee.

  6. Tap ✅ Confirm Send. OPALE builds and signs the transfer, then broadcasts.

Send Tokens quote: token amount, recipient (full address), postage + network fee. Confirm Send + Cancel.
Send Tokens quote: token amount, recipient (full address), postage + network fee. Confirm Send + Cancel.
  1. Watch the receipt. It edits live as the transaction moves through the mempool to confirmed.

The Confirm screen has ❌ Cancel alongside ✅ Confirm Send, plus a 💰 Wallet shortcut if you want to bail back to the wallet view.

Fast-path

Section titled “Fast-path”
LOL 100 bc1qexample…

Send 100 LOL to that address. OPALE jumps straight to the quote.

Variants:

  • /send LOL 100 bc1q… — explicit command form, identical behavior.
  • /send LOL — guided: prompts for amount and recipient.
  • /send — fully guided: prompts for ticker, amount and recipient.

Address formats accepted

Section titled “Address formats accepted”
  • bc1q… — native segwit
  • bc1p… — Taproot
  • 3… — P2SH
  • 1… — legacy

Send to the recipient’s Bitcoin address — Universal tokens travel on Bitcoin L1 with the address as the destination, the same way BTC does.

Pre-flight checks

Section titled “Pre-flight checks”

Before you can confirm, OPALE verifies:

  • You hold enough of the token you’re sending.
  • You have enough BTC to cover the small postage carried by the transfer plus the network fee. If not, OPALE blocks the transfer and points you to top up.

Why it’s free of OPALE fees

Section titled “Why it’s free of OPALE fees”

📨 Send Tokens doesn’t touch the marketplace — there’s no listing, no buyer, no transaction to rebuild. OPALE just builds a regular Universal token transfer and signs it on your behalf. The only costs are the Bitcoin network fee and the small postage that goes to the recipient (not to OPALE).

Common issues

Section titled “Common issues”
  • “Insufficient token balance” — lower the amount or wait for any in-flight buys to credit.
  • “Insufficient BTC for fees” — you have the tokens but not enough BTC for postage + network fee. Top up via deposit.
  • “Invalid address” — destination didn’t parse as a Bitcoin address.
