First Transaction

PREREQUISITE: Load the following skills to execute this recipe: web3-shared, web3-wallet, web3-send, web3-balance

Walk through wallet creation to your first on-chain transaction.

Steps

1. Create a wallet:

   web3 wallet create
   

2. Show your address (share this to receive funds):

   web3 wallet show
   

3. Check your balance (you need funds before sending):

   web3 balance --chain ethereum
   

4. Dry-run a send (simulate without spending):

   web3 send 0x742d35Cc6634C0532925a3b844Bc9e7595f2bD18 0.01 --dry-run --chain ethereum
   

5. Confirm with the user, then execute the real send:

   web3 send 0x742d35Cc6634C0532925a3b844Bc9e7595f2bD18 0.01 --chain ethereum
   

6. Check transaction status:

   web3 tx status <HASH> --chain ethereum
   

Tips

• Use --network testnet for experimentation without real funds.
• If the balance is zero, the user needs to fund the wallet address first (from an exchange or another wallet).
• Always dry-run before sending real value.
