# Execute transfer (custody)

Executes an on-chain transfer using the exact SDP Wallet ID (id from /v1/wallets) and server-side custody signing.

`POST /v1/payments/transfers`

Requires an Idempotency-Key: a retry with the same key and request returns the original transfer instead of sending a second one. A 200 may return a processing transfer with its signature when broadcast or confirmation is still being reconciled; do not create a replacement transfer for that payment. A native SOL transfer is refused with 409 `AMOUNT_BELOW_RENT_MINIMUM`, before anything is written or sent, when it pays less than the rent-exempt minimum to an address with no account or would leave the source wallet holding more than nothing but less than the minimum.

Requires an [API key](/docs/developing-with-sdp/authentication) with the `transfers.execute` action.

## Headers

- **`x-project-id`** · `string` · min length 1 · example `prj_example`

  Required for dashboard sessions. API keys use their assigned project.

- **`Idempotency-Key`** · `string` · required

  Use a unique 1–255 printable ASCII key per operation. Reuse it with the same request on retries. An in-flight attempt returns `409`; a changed request returns `422`. [Retry and recovery rules](/docs/developing-with-sdp/idempotency).

## Request body

`application/json` · required

Create transfer request payload for a custody-managed source wallet. This endpoint does not provision wallets.

- **`projectId`** · `string` · min length 1 · example `prj_example`

  Project identifier for the transfer context.

- **`transferId`** · `string` · min length 1

  Existing off-ramp transfer to use for the on-chain crypto deposit. The transfer must still be awaiting payment and must not already contain on-chain submission data.

- **`sourceCustodyWalletId`** · `string` · required · min length 1 · example `cwlt_example`

  Exact SDP Wallet ID (`id` from `GET /v1/wallets`).

- **`destination`** · `string` · required · example `7xKXtg2CW87d97TXJSDpbD5jBkheTqA83TZRuJosgAsU`

  Destination wallet address.

- **`counterpartyAccountId`** · `string` · min length 1 · example `cpacct_example`

  The counterparty's active Solana `crypto_wallet` account that `destination` belongs to, as a transfer batch recipient names it. The transfer record is tied to that counterparty. Its address must equal `destination`, and it cannot be combined with `transferId`.

- **`token`** · `string` · required · example `EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v`

  Token to transfer. Pass `SOL` for the native token, a well-known token symbol (e.g. `USDC`) resolved to the configured cluster's mint, or a base58 SPL mint address. Custom tokens must be specified by their on-chain mint.

- **`amount`** · `string` · required · example `100.00`

  Token amount in UI units (decimal string).

- **`memo`** · `string` · max length 256

  Optional memo for the transfer.

      - **`deliveryMode`** · `string` · one of `hosted`, `manual_instructions`, `session_widget` · example `session_widget`

        Ramp delivery mode. Hosted flows require the customer to complete a provider-hosted UI; manual instructions require the customer to fund displayed instructions; session widgets use a provider SDK session.

      - **`fiatCurrency`** · `string` · example `USD`

        Fiat currency for the ramp leg.

      - **`fiatAmount`** · `string` · example `100.00`

        Quoted fiat amount for the ramp leg: what the customer pays on an on-ramp, the payout quoted on an off-ramp. It never changes after the quote; an off-ramp's final payout is `fiatPayout`.

      - **`fiatPayout`** · `object`

        What the provider reports paying out once it settles an off-ramp sale. Provider-reported: SDP cannot verify a bank payout.

        - **`amount`** · `string` · required · example `20.82`

          Fiat paid out, in display units. Differs from the quoted `fiatAmount` when the provider re-prices the sale at receipt.

          ISO currency of the payout, as the provider reports it.

        - **`reportedAt`** · `string` · format `date-time` · example `2025-01-02T00:00:00.000Z`

          When the provider reported the payout.

      - **`deliveryMismatch`** · `object`

        Present while SDP holds a provider-settled ramp in `settling` because the chain contradicts the provider's delivery. A new provider report clears it.

        - **`reason`** · `string` · required · one of `provider_report_mismatch`, `transaction_failed`, `predates_transfer`, `not_delivered`, `amount_mismatch`, `transaction_not_found` · example `amount_mismatch`

          Why the chain contradicts the provider: `provider_report_mismatch` (its report contradicts SDP's record), `transaction_failed`, `predates_transfer` (the transaction landed before the transfer), `not_delivered` (nothing of the quoted asset reached the quoted wallet), `amount_mismatch`, or `transaction_not_found` (no finalized transaction an hour after the report; SDP keeps checking, and a later delivery completes the transfer).

        - **`checkedAt`** · `string` · required · format `date-time` · example `2025-01-02T00:00:00.000Z`

          When SDP's delivery check reached this verdict.

          What the provider reported delivering, in display units.

        - **`observedAmount`** · `string` · example `0.5`

          Provider-specific risk score.

        - **`level`** · `string` · required · one of `low`, `medium`, `high`, `unknown` · example `low`

          Risk level classification.

        - **`evaluatedAt`** · `string` · required · format `date-time` · example `2025-01-01T00:00:00.000Z`

          Timestamp when risk was evaluated.

      - **`createdAt`** · `string` · required · format `date-time` · example `2025-01-01T00:00:00.000Z`

    - **`requestId`** · `string` · min length 1 · example `req_example`

      Request identifier for tracing.

- **`401`** Unauthorized

  Same fields as `400`.

- **`403`** Forbidden. Requires the `transfers.execute` action: an API key must hold it (a module's `manage` or `execute` also covers its `read`), and a signed-in member's organization role must include it. Without it the error is INSUFFICIENT_PERMISSIONS and `error.details.action` names the action. Any other 403 names its own reason.

  Same fields as `400`.

- **`404`** Not Found

  Same fields as `400`.

- **`409`** Conflict

  Same fields as `400`.

- **`422`** Unprocessable Entity

  Same fields as `400`.

- **`500`** Internal Server Error

  Same fields as `400`.

- **`503`** Service Unavailable

  Same fields as `400`.
