Anyone here that knows how to use the transfer function of a contract to transfer those tokens from alice to bob after having loaded the ABI etc.

contract.functions.transfer(receiver, amount).transact({"from": sender}) I am trying this but won't work

Did you add some logic to the contract so that it can transfer Ether?

It is a fork from a long time ago

On testnet basically

Does this work for you then?

What testnet?

bsc

Address?

What are you trying to transfer? Ether or token?

The token itself

The only function my program is lacking, pulling tx data related to this token was fine with call()

but transact() idk

Yes I was going to advice you to use call()

Call only works when you want to read data

Not when you want to do an actual transfer

Kinda crazy I cant find anything about this on Google too

Are you using ethers.js right?

web3.py

Oh

But it is the same functionilty

On Ethers you pass a “data” key in the options param of call()

Have you used call to transfer non-native tokens?

I can transfer BNB on BSC, FTM on Fantom etc just fine

https://web3py.readthedocs.io/en/stable/web3.eth.html#web3.eth.Eth.send_transaction take a look at this

Yeah that is what this part does basically

That doesn't work for "tokens", only for the main token

For external contract you have to import the ABI then do something

I meant send_transaction

I found out how it works

amount = web3.toWei(amount, 'ether')
# Get the nonce. Prevents one from sending the transaction twice
nonce = web3.eth.getTransactionCount(sender)

token_transfer = contract.functions.transfer(web3.toChecksumAddress(receiver),

web3.toWei(amount, 'wei')).buildTransaction({
'chainId': chain,
'from': sender,
'value': web3.toWei(amount, 'ether'),
'gas': 210000,
'gasPrice': web3.toWei('50', 'gwei'),
'nonce': nonce

})


signed_tx = web3.eth.account.signTransaction(token_transfer, private_key=private_key_1)
print(signed_tx)
tx_hash = web3.eth.sendRawTransaction(web3.toHex(signed_tx.rawTransaction))

how?

They should put something like this in the docs ffs lol

oh okay
