Token Transfer

Transfer tokens cross-chain in four steps: verify token support, estimate fees, send, and track.

Step	Command	Purpose
1. Verify	get-supported-tokens	Check token support on the lane
2. Estimate	send --only-get-fee	Get fee quote
3. Send	send --transfer-tokens	Execute transfer
4. Track	show	Monitor execution

You need RPC endpoints and a wallet configured. See Configuration.

Step 1: Verify Token Support

Check that your token is supported on the lane:

Bash

ccip-cli get-supported-tokens \
  -n ethereum-testnet-sepolia \
  -a 0x0BF3dE8c5D3e8A2B34D2BEeB17ABfCeBaf363A59

Select a token to see its configuration, including rate limits and available capacity per destination. You can also query a specific token directly with -t <token-address>.

Step 2: Estimate Fee

Bash

ccip-cli send \
  -s ethereum-testnet-sepolia \
  -r 0x0BF3dE8c5D3e8A2B34D2BEeB17ABfCeBaf363A59 \
  -d ethereum-testnet-sepolia-arbitrum-1 \
  --to 0xReceiverAddress \
  -t 0xFd57b4ddBf88a4e07fF4e34C487b99af2Fe82a05=1.0 \
  --only-get-fee

Add --fee-token LINK to get the fee in LINK instead of native token.

Step 3: Send Transfer

EVM to EVM

Bash

ccip-cli send \
  -s ethereum-testnet-sepolia \
  -r 0x0BF3dE8c5D3e8A2B34D2BEeB17ABfCeBaf363A59 \
  -d ethereum-testnet-sepolia-arbitrum-1 \
  --to 0xReceiverAddress \
  -t 0xFd57b4ddBf88a4e07fF4e34C487b99af2Fe82a05=1.0 \
  --wallet ledger

EVM to Solana

Bash

ccip-cli send \
  -s ethereum-testnet-sepolia \
  -r 0x0BF3dE8c5D3e8A2B34D2BEeB17ABfCeBaf363A59 \
  -d solana-devnet \
  --to <SOLANA_PROGRAM_ADDRESS> \
  --token-receiver <SOLANA_TOKEN_ACCOUNT> \
  --account <ACCOUNT_1> \
  --account <ACCOUNT_2>=rw \
  -t 0xToken=1.0 \
  --wallet ledger

Solana to EVM

Bash

ccip-cli send \
  -s solana-devnet \
  -r <SOLANA_ROUTER> \
  -d ethereum-testnet-sepolia \
  --to 0xEvmAddress \
  -t <SPL_TOKEN_MINT>=1.0 \
  --wallet ledger

EVM to Sui

Bash

ccip-cli send \
  -s ethereum-testnet-sepolia \
  -r 0x0BF3dE8c5D3e8A2B34D2BEeB17ABfCeBaf363A59 \
  -d sui-testnet \
  --to 0xSuiReceiverAddress \
  --account 0xObjectId1 \
  --account 0xObjectId2 \
  -t 0xToken=1.0 \
  --wallet ledger

See the send command reference for all options: token amount format, gas limit behavior, lane-specific parameters, and extra args. Extra args like blockConfirmations and ccvs (encoded as GenericExtraArgsV3) require CCIP v2+ lanes — check your lane version in the CCIP Directory.

Step 4: Track Transfer

Bash

ccip-cli show 0xTransactionHash

Add --wait to block until execution completes. You can also include --wait in the send command itself.

Troubleshooting

Issue	Solution
Transfer stuck	Rate limiter may be depleted — wait for refill or reduce amount
Execution failed	Retry with manual-exec --gas-limit
Token not supported	Verify with get-supported-tokens
