## What it is

A transfer is an operation that moves funds from a specific blockchain and stablecoin to another blockchain and another stablecoin.

## How it works

A transfer can only be executed if a transfer quote was created previously, and you have 15 seconds to execute the transfer before the quote expires.

## Prerequisites

::c-prerequisites
::

You also need a [wallet](/docs/essentials/wallets) and a [transfer quote](/docs/essentials/transfer-quotes#create-a-transfer-quote).

## Execute a transfer

::c-auth-note
::

Replace `pq_000000000000` with the transfer quote ID you created previously.

::c-code-group

```bash [cURL]
curl https://api.blindpay.com/v1/instances/in_000000000000/transfers \
  --request POST \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_SECRET_TOKEN' \
  --data '{
  "transfer_quote_id": "pq_000000000000"
}'
```
