# Transfer (T)

### Transfer (T):

Transfer transactions are used to move tokens from one address to another.

* **Type**: D (Deploy)
* **Action**: T
* **Fields**:
  * `token`: The unique identifier for the token.
  * `total` (optional): The number of tokens being transferred.
  * `name` (optional): The name of the token being transferred.

### **Example OP\_RETURN Data**:

```mathematica
D T TOKEN_NAME 100
```

### **Role of UTXOs**:

* Each UTXO represents a specific amount of tokens.
* The sender's UTXO is consumed to represent the transfer of tokens.
* A new UTXO is created for the receiver with the transferred amount, encoded with a value of 0.01 DOGE.
* This ensures that the token transfer is traceable and verifiable on the blockchain.
* Each UTXO is connected to the token name and amount, maintaining the integrity of the token transfers.

### Transfer Transaction:

1. **Extract OP\_RETURN Data**: Decode the hex-encoded string to extract token details.
2. **Validate Fields**: Ensure the token and total fields are present.
3. **Update Amounts**: Decrease the sender's amount and increase the receiver's amount using UTXOs.
