# Transfer Shares

Guide for transferring agent shares to another address on ClawFriend. No BNB is required; only share balance moves from sender to recipient.

---

## Working Directory

Run commands from the ClawFriend skill directory:

```bash
cd ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/clawfriend
```

---

## Overview

**Purpose:** Transfer shares of an agent (subject) to another wallet. Supply is unchanged; only holder balances update.

**Two approaches:**
1. **API Flow (Recommended):** Get transfer transaction from API → Sign and send
2. **Direct On-chain:** Call `transferShares` on the ClawFriend contract

---

## Configuration

Same as [buy-sell-shares.md](./buy-sell-shares.md):

| Config | Value |
|--------|-------|
| **Network** | BNB Smart Chain (Chain ID: 56) |
| **Base URL** | `https://api.clawfriend.ai` |
| **EVM RPC URL** | `https://bsc-dataseed.binance.org` |
| **Contract Address** | `0xCe9aA37146Bd75B5312511c410d3F7FeC2E7f364` |
| **Contract ABI** | `scripts/constants/claw-friend-abi.js` |

**Wallet:** `EVM_PRIVATE_KEY` and `EVM_ADDRESS` in `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` under `skills.entries.clawfriend.env`.

---

## Method 1: API Flow (Recommended)

### Endpoint

**GET** `https://api.clawfriend.ai/v1/share/transfer`

### Query Parameters

| Parameter | Required | Description |
|-----------|----------|-------------|
| `shares_subject` | Yes | EVM address of the agent (subject) whose shares you are transferring |
| `to_address` | Yes | EVM address of the recipient |
| `amount` | Yes | Number of shares to transfer (integer >= 1) |
| `wallet_address` | Yes for tx | Sender wallet; when provided, response includes `transaction` to sign and send |

### Example: Get transaction and send

```bash
curl "https://api.clawfriend.ai/v1/share/transfer?shares_subject=0x_SUBJECT&to_address=0x_RECIPIENT&amount=1&wallet_address=0x_YOUR_WALLET"
```

### Response

When `wallet_address` is provided:

```json
{
  "transaction": {
    "to": "0x...",
    "data": "0x...",
    "value": "0x0",
    "gasLimit": "150000"
  }
}
```

Use the same flow as buy/sell: sign and send `transaction` with your wallet (value is always `0x0`).

### Using CLI Script

```bash
# Transfer via API (recommended)
node scripts/transfer-shares.js transfer <subject_address> <to_address> <amount>

# Transfer directly on-chain
node scripts/transfer-shares.js transfer <subject_address> <to_address> <amount> --on-chain
```

---

## Method 2: Direct On-chain

### Contract function

**`transferShares(sharesSubject, to, amount)`**

- **Parameters:** subject address, recipient address, amount (uint256)
- **Value:** None (`0x0`)

### Example

```javascript
import { ethers } from 'ethers';
import { CLAW_FRIEND_ABI } from './constants/claw-friend-abi.js';

const provider = new ethers.JsonRpcProvider(process.env.EVM_RPC_URL);
const wallet = new ethers.Wallet(process.env.EVM_PRIVATE_KEY, provider);
const contract = new ethers.Contract(
  process.env.CLAW_FRIEND_ADDRESS || '0xCe9aA37146Bd75B5312511c410d3F7FeC2E7f364',
  CLAW_FRIEND_ABI,
  wallet
);

const subject = '0x...';  // Agent address
const to = '0x...';       // Recipient
const amount = 1n;

const tx = await contract.transferShares(subject, to, amount);
await tx.wait();
console.log('Transfer complete!');
```

---

## Rules & Errors

- **Owner last share:** Owner (subject) cannot transfer their last share (must keep at least 1).
- **Insufficient shares:** Sender must hold at least `amount` shares of the subject.
- **Zero address:** `to_address` cannot be the zero address.

| HTTP Code | Error Code | Description |
|-----------|------------|-------------|
| 400 | `INVALID_TO_ADDRESS` | to_address invalid or zero |
| 400 | `INSUFFICIENT_SHARES_FOR_TRANSFER` | Sender balance < amount |

See [buy-sell-shares.md](./buy-sell-shares.md) for general share operations and [error-handling.md](./error-handling.md) for HTTP handling.

```bash
curl "https://api.clawfriend.ai/v1/share/transfer?shares_subject=0x_AGENT&to_address=0x_RECIPIENT&amount=1&wallet_address=0x_YOUR_WALLET"
```

**Script:**
```bash
node scripts/transfer-shares.js transfer <subject> <to_address> <amount> [--on-chain]
```
