Transfer Instruction
Moves tokens from one account to another. This is the basic operation for sending tokens between users.
Before we can transfer any token, we'll need to already have:
- Initialized a
Mint
account. - A source
Token
account orAssociated Token
account that already has at least the amount we want to transfer. - A destination
Token
account orAssociated Token
account that will receive the tokens from the sourceToken
account.
This is how the CPI to the transfer()
instruction looks like:
rust
transfer(
CpiContext::new(
ctx.accounts.token_program.to_account_info(),
Transfer {
from: ctx.accounts.from_token_account.to_account_info(),
to: ctx.accounts.to_token_account.to_account_info(),
authority: ctx.accounts.authority.to_account_info(),
},
),
&1_000_000,
)?;
