# Send your first transfer

> Send Test TAV with your wallet, review the recipient and fee, and confirm execution using the transaction receipt and explorer.

Send a small amount of **Test Tavcoin (TAV)** using your EVM wallet, then check its receipt and explorer entry.

## Before you begin

[Connect to Tavchain](https://docs.tavchain.safeney.com/tavchain/connect.md) and obtain [1 Test TAV](https://docs.tavchain.safeney.com/tavchain/faucet.md). Choose an intended recipient's EVM address on this testnet, or another account you control. Do not use an exchange deposit address.

## Send in your wallet

1. Confirm the selected network is Tavchain Testnet, chain ID **771002**.
2. Choose **Send**, enter the recipient's `0x` address and an amount such as **0.01 TAV**.
3. Review the network, full recipient, amount and wallet-estimated maximum fee. Leave enough TAV for fees.
4. Confirm once in your wallet. Save the resulting transaction hash.
5. If the wallet times out or the result is unclear, inspect that hash before submitting another payment.

The 0.01 TAV amount is a tutorial example, not a protocol minimum or faucet policy. Fees vary with gas and network conditions; review the current wallet quote.

## Verify execution

Open the transaction hash in [the explorer](https://explorer.tavchain.safeney.com/). Check that it succeeded and that the sender, recipient and amount match your transfer.

If it is pending or has not appeared, allow time for inclusion and indexing. Check the existing transaction before sending again. A failed transaction can still charge a fee.

>
> Query `eth_getTransactionReceipt` using [the receipt guide](https://docs.tavchain.safeney.com/tavchain/api/transaction.md). A non-null receipt with `status: "0x1"` means execution succeeded. `status: "0x0"` means execution failed. A `null` result means the endpoint has no receipt at that moment.
