# Transfer

The transfer function is used to generate a transaction hexadecimal that will allow you to send STAS tokens to another designated address. Once you have successfully completed the installation process, you will be able to access the SDK functions.

To utilize the transfer function, it is necessary to first prepare some UTXOs. Specifically, you will need a stasUtxo, which will be the STAS token utilized in the transfer, as well as a paymentUtxo, which will provide funding for the transaction fees.

Both UTXOs will require private keys to be supplied, although it is possible to use the same private keys for both, if applicable. Finally, you will need to input the destination address string to complete the process.

```javascript
const transferHex = await stasTransfer.signed(
    ownerPrivatekey, 
    stasUtxo, 
    destinationAddress, 
    paymentUtxo, 
    paymentPrivateKey
)
```

{% hint style="success" %}
After executing the function, you will receive a transaction hexadecimal representation that is now ready to be broadcasted to the miner.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.stastoken.com/library/transfer.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
