Step-by-step

  1. Get the recipient 0x from them, not from a DM QR. Ask the person to copy Receive on Ethereum. Check EIP-55 if the casing is mixed. Exchanges must show “ERC-20 / Ethereum”, not TRC-20.
  2. Open Send in GaurdWallet. Unlock /app → Send → select ETH on Ethereum. Paste the address. If validation fails, see Invalid address for this network.
  3. Review fee and confirm on this device. Leave ETH for the fee. Then Confirm and send. Watch History / explorer. Do not speed up a tx that still says sending unless the UI offers a real replacement — we manage nonce via viem’s nonce manager.
Insufficient-funds checker

GaurdWallet blocks Send when amount + network fee exceeds the spendable balance. Native-coin fees are paid in the chain’s coin, not in the ERC-20 you are sending.

Ethereum is not an L2

The same 0x works on Base and Arbitrum, but ETH on those nets is a different balance. Receive warns that the address is reused across EVM chains — the sender still has to pick Ethereum mainnet if that is where the coins live.

Warning

Support will never ask you to send ETH to “validate” an account. That is theft. We cannot reverse a confirmed transfer.

What Send does not do

It does not bridge. It does not swap. It does not attach an XRP tag. Failed broadcast is Transaction failed / The network rejected the transaction, not the insufficient-funds disable. Adapter down: The {chain} adapter is not available yet — sending is disabled.

Send → ETH (Ethereum) → 0x recipient → fee tier → sign locally

Tip

For unit math on the fee, use the wei/gwei converter, then believe the Review row.

FAQ

How long does Ethereum take? Until the network includes the tx. We show pending then confirmed in History. There is no GaurdWallet-side queue you can call support to push.

Can I send ETH to a Bitcoin bc1 address? No. Validation should reject it. Those coins would be unrecoverable if a UI ever allowed it.

Does Send use my Exchange allowance? No. Native ETH send is not an ERC-20 approve. Token sends are a separate asset row.
