send-usdcbởi coinbase
Transfer USDC to Ethereum addresses or ENS names on Base. Accepts both hex addresses (0x...) and ENS names (.eth) as recipients, with automatic ENS resolution Supports flexible amount formats: dollar notation ($5.00), decimal (1.50), or atomic units (1000000) Requires wallet authentication via the authenticate-wallet skill and sufficient USDC balance before sending Includes input validation to prevent shell injection and optional JSON output for programmatic use
npx skills add https://github.com/coinbase/agentic-wallet-skills --skill send-usdcSending Tokens
Use the npx [email protected] send command to transfer tokens from the wallet to any address on Base, Polygon, or Solana.
Confirm wallet is initialized and authed
npx [email protected] status
If the wallet is not authenticated, refer to the authenticate-wallet skill.
Command Syntax
npx [email protected] send <amount> <recipient> [--chain <chain>] [--asset <asset>] [--json]
Arguments
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
amount | Amount to send: '$1.00', '1.00', or atomic units (1000000 = $1). Always single-quote amounts that use $ to prevent bash variable expansion. If the number looks like atomic units (no decimal or > 100), treat as atomic units. Assume that people won't be sending more than 100 USDC the majority of the time |
recipient | Ethereum address (0x...), ENS name (vitalik.eth), or Solana address (Base58) |
Options
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
--chain <name> | Blockchain network: base, polygon, solana (default: base) |
--asset <symbol> | Token to send: usdc, eth, pol, sol (default: usdc) |
--json | Output result as JSON |
Input Validation
Before constructing the command, validate all user-provided values to prevent shell injection:
- amount: Must match
^\$?[\d.]+$(digits, optional decimal point, optional$prefix). Reject if it contains spaces, semicolons, pipes, backticks, or other shell metacharacters. - recipient: Must be a valid
0xhex address (^0x[0-9a-fA-F]{40}$), an ENS name (^[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.eth$), or a Solana address (^[1-9A-HJ-NP-Za-km-z]{32,44}$). Reject any value containing spaces or shell metacharacters. - chain: Must be one of
base,polygon,solana. Reject any other value. - asset: Must be one of
usdc,eth,pol,sol. Reject any other value.
Do not pass unvalidated user input into the command.
Examples
# Send $1.00 USDC to an address on Base (default)
npx [email protected] send 1 0x1234...abcd
# Send $0.50 USDC to an ENS name
npx [email protected] send 0.50 vitalik.eth
# Send with dollar sign prefix (note the single quotes)
npx [email protected] send '$5.00' 0x1234...abcd
# Send ETH on Base
npx [email protected] send 0.01 0x1234...abcd --asset eth
# Send USDC on Polygon
npx [email protected] send 1 0x1234...abcd --chain polygon
# Send USDC to a Solana address
npx [email protected] send 1 AxW7...5fGz --chain solana
# Get JSON output
npx [email protected] send 1 vitalik.eth --json
ENS Resolution
ENS names are automatically resolved to addresses via Ethereum mainnet. The command will:
- Detect ENS names (any string containing a dot that isn't a hex address)
- Resolve the name to an address
- Display both the ENS name and resolved address in the output
Prerequisites
- Must be authenticated (
npx [email protected] statusto check,npx [email protected] auth loginto sign in, see skillauthenticate-walletfor more information) - Wallet must have sufficient USDC balance (
npx awal balanceto check)
Error Handling
Common errors:
- "Not authenticated" - Run
awal auth login <email>first - "Insufficient balance" - Check balance with
awal balance - "Could not resolve ENS name" - Verify the ENS name exists
- "Invalid recipient" - Must be valid 0x address, ENS name, or Solana Base58 address
- "SOL only supported on Solana chains" - Use
--chain solanawhen sending SOL - "ETH/POL only supported on EVM chains" - ETH on base, POL on polygon
