# Your first transaction

> Send your first XFG transaction on testnet and verify it on-chain.

This guide uses testnet. Make sure your daemon is running with `--testnet` and your wallet is connected to it.

## Check your balance

```
balance
```

On a fresh testnet wallet, your balance is 0. You need testnet XFG to proceed — ask in the Fuego community channels for testnet funds.

## Send XFG

```
transfer <address> <amount>
```

Example:

```
transfer fireVHx639SLMhzmBoJ8drTXbVyv2eRG6A8aMLc1taTiRNwk8pnwXpBDUSjH1dT5fg7yVVZrKkvm31CmigAMdVDg7sgxJmAUNp 1.5
```

Or use an alias if the recipient has registered one:

```
transfer @alice 1.5
```

The wallet outputs a transaction ID. Copy it — you can use it to verify the transaction.

## Verify the transaction

```bash theme={null}
curl -s http://127.0.0.1:28280/get_transaction_details_by_hash \
  -X POST \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"hash":"YOUR_TX_HASH_HERE"}'
```

Look for `"in_pool": false` to confirm the transaction was included in a block.

## Check incoming transactions

```
show_incoming_transfers
```

Ring signatures mean the sender is hidden from observers. From the recipient's perspective, incoming XFG appears as an output to their one-time key.

<Note>
  Transactions require a few block confirmations before the balance becomes spendable. On testnet this takes seconds; on mainnet, minutes.
