How to send tokens

Users can send tokens by using the Send button in Valora.

For those unfamiliar with sending tokens, it is recommended to review the article on key considerations for sending tokens to and from Valora. Step-by-step instructions are also available for sending Celo tokens to a cryptocurrency exchange.

Step 1 - On Valora’s Home screen, tap on the green Send button.

Step 2 - Choose a Recipient

Valora provides three options for selecting a recipient:

  • If Valora has been given access to the phone's contact list, users can type the recipient's name or scroll through the contacts and select the desired recipient. If the recipient has a Valora account linked to their phone number, they will automatically receive the tokens. If not, users will be prompted to send an invitation for them to join Valora.
  • Users can enter the recipient's wallet address (copying and pasting is recommended). When sending to an exchange, ensure it supports the token being sent.
  • Users can also scan the recipient’s Valora QR code by tapping the square icon in the top-right corner of the app.

Step 3 - Enter Token Details

  • Select the token to be sent.
  • Enter the amount to be sent.
  • Tap Review to check the transaction details, including estimated fees and the total cost.

Step 4 - Confirm Transaction Details

  • Verify that all transaction details are correct. 
  • Tap Send.

Step 5 - Enter PIN

  • If prompted, enter the PIN. 

This step may be skipped if the PIN was recently entered.

The transaction will appear in the Activity feed on the Valora home screen, and its status will update upon completion.
