Verify Transfer

Check balances after transfer: 
# Your balance
bwick token balance bwick1tokencontract... --key mykey

# Recipient balance
bwick token balance bwick1tokencontract... bwick1recipient...

​
Amount Calculation

Amount is in the token’s smallest unit. For 6 decimals:
DisplayAmount (base)
1 MTK1,000,000
0.5 MTK500,000
100 MTK100,000,000
Example: Send 10 tokens: 
bwick token transfer bwick1contract... bwick1recipient... 10000000 --from mykey
#                                                  ^ 10 * 10^6

​
Batch Transfers

​
Sequential

bwick token transfer bwick1contract... bwick1addr1... 1000000 --from mykey
bwick token transfer bwick1contract... bwick1addr2... 2000000 --from mykey
bwick token transfer bwick1contract... bwick1addr3... 3000000 --from mykey

​
Script

#!/bin/bash
CONTRACT="bwick1tokencontract..."
KEY="mykey"

# Recipients and amounts
declare -A TRANSFERS=(
  ["bwick1addr1..."]="1000000"
  ["bwick1addr2..."]="2000000"
  ["bwick1addr3..."]="3000000"
)

for addr in "${!TRANSFERS[@]}"; do
  amount=${TRANSFERS[$addr]}
  echo "Sending $amount to $addr..."
  bwick token transfer $CONTRACT $addr $amount --from $KEY
  sleep 1
done

​
Error Handling

ErrorMeaningSolution
”insufficient token balance”Not enough tokensCheck balance first
”invalid address”Bad recipient formatVerify address format (bwick1…)
“contract not found”Wrong contract addressVerify contract exists

​
Check Balance Before Transfer

# Check your balance
BALANCE=$(bwick token balance bwick1contract... --key mykey --output json | jq -r '.balance')

# Compare with amount
if [ "$BALANCE" -lt "1000000" ]; then
  echo "Insufficient balance: $BALANCE"
  exit 1
fi

​
Under the Hood

bwick token transfer executes a MsgExecuteContract: 
{
  "contract": "bwick1tokencontract...",
  "msg": {
    "transfer": {
      "recipient": "bwick1recipient...",
      "amount": "1000000"
    }
  },
  "funds": []
}

​
Transfer vs Send

CW20 has two transfer methods:
MethodUse Case
transferSend to regular address
sendSend to contract with callback
The bwick token transfer command uses transfer. For contract interactions, use bwick program execute.

​
Troubleshooting

Check your current balance:
bwick token balance bwick1contract... --key mykey
You can only transfer what you have.
Ensure the address:
  • Starts with bwick1
  • Is the correct length
  • Has valid checksum
The node may be slow. Check status:
curl https://rpc.bwick.fun/status | jq '.result.sync_info'
Retry the transfer if needed.
