Example
# Send 0.02 BNB (native token) to an address
baw wallet send --amount 0.02 --recipient 0x1234...5678 --binanceChainId 56 --tokenAddress 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE --json
# Send 10 USDT to an address
baw wallet send --amount 10 --recipient 0x1234...5678 --binanceChainId 56 --tokenAddress 0x55d398326f99059fF775485246999027B3197955 --json
# Send ALL available BNB (native token). --amount is omitted
baw wallet send --max --recipient 0x1234...5678 --binanceChainId 56 --tokenAddress 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE --jsonResponse
{
"success": true,
"data": { "txHash": "0xabcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890" }
}Important: a tx hash does not mean on-chain confirmation
A successful response with a txHash means the transaction has been broadcast to the network — it does not mean it has been confirmed or finalized on-chain. Transactions can still fail after broadcast.
After receiving a txHash, always tell the user:
- The transaction has been submitted and is pending confirmation.
- They can track its status with
wallet tx-history. - They should wait for on-chain confirmation before considering the transfer complete.
Address Book
The --recipient address must be in the address book. To add an address, open Binance App → Wallet → Settings → Address Book.
