# Transfers

> Send USDC to any EVM address on the Arc Network

## USDC Transfers

Agents send USDC to EVM addresses on the Arc Network. Transfers are gas abstracted. Arc uses USDC as the native gas token, so agents don't need a separate token for gas fees.

Every transfer is:

* **Policy-checked**: Validated against per-transaction and cumulative spending limits
* **Audited**: Logged in the tamper-proof audit trail
* **Idempotent**: Protected against duplicate execution via the `Idempotency-Key` header

## How It Works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Estimate fees">
    Estimate the gas cost without spending:

    ```bash theme={null}
    curl -X POST https://api.aegisintent.xyz/v1/actions/estimate/transfer \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
      -H "X-Aegis-Email: agent@example.com" \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{
        "destination": "0x8E8F5064f20D235F899c7553F1BEE77A235F4828",
        "amount": "10.00"
      }'
    ```

    The response returns real time gas estimates (low, medium, high) and checks balance sufficiency.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Execute the transfer">
    Submit the transfer with an idempotency key and nonce:

    ```bash theme={null}
    curl -X POST https://api.aegisintent.xyz/v1/actions/transfer \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
      -H "X-Aegis-Email: agent@example.com" \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -H "Idempotency-Key: 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000" \
      -H "X-Aegis-Nonce: 0" \
      -d '{
        "destination": "0x8E8F5064f20D235F899c7553F1BEE77A235F4828",
        "amount": "10.00"
      }'
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm the result">
    A successful transfer returns the transaction ID and state:

    ```json theme={null}
    {
      "success": true,
      "result": {
        "id": "f08f8279-fe6e-5843-a187-149acb7f5d5a",
        "state": "INITIATED"
      }
    }
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Transfer Parameters

| Field         | Type   | Required | Description                                         |
| ------------- | ------ | -------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| `destination` | string | Yes      | EVM address to send USDC to (0x-prefixed, 42 chars) |
| `amount`      | string | Yes      | Amount of USDC to send (e.g. `"10.00"`)             |

## Gas Abstraction

On the Arc Network, USDC is the native gas token. This means:

* No need to hold ETH or any other token for gas
* Gas fees are deducted directly from the USDC balance
* Typical transfer gas costs are fractions of a cent

<Tip>
  Use the `/v1/actions/estimate/transfer` endpoint to get real-time fee
  estimates before committing to a transfer. The estimate includes `low`,
  `medium`, and `high` fee levels so your agent can choose the appropriate speed.
