Sends USDC from an end user’s EVM account (EOA or Smart Account) to a recipient address on a supported EVM network. This endpoint simplifies USDC transfers by automatically handling contract resolution, decimal conversion, gas estimation, and transaction encoding.
The amount field accepts human-readable amounts as decimal strings (e.g., “1.5”, “25.50”).
A JWT signed using the developer's own JWT private key (in the case of JWT authentication), or an end user JWT signed by CDP, encoded in base64. This is used for End User Account APIs.
A JWT signed using your Wallet Secret, encoded in base64. Refer to the Generate Wallet Token section of our Authentication docs for more details on how to generate your Wallet Token.
An optional string request header for making requests safely retryable. When included, duplicate requests with the same key will return identical responses. Refer to our Idempotency docs for more information on using idempotency keys.
