Send & Receive

Pesalo sends and receives XLM, USDC, and EURC over the classic Stellar network. Settlement is typically 3 – 5 seconds, and the on-chain fee is 0.00001 XLM per operation.

Receive​

Open Receive from the Home pill row. You'll see:

  • A QR code encoding your Stellar address (G... for a dev keypair, C... for a passkey smart wallet).
  • The full address as plain text — selectable and copyable.
  • A Get testnet XLM (Friendbot) button that re-runs Stellar's testnet faucet against your address. Use it whenever you need more testnet XLM.

Anyone with your address can send you XLM directly. For USDC or EURC, the sender needs to know your address and your account needs a trustline for that asset (we add it automatically on first swap).

Send​

Open Send from the Home pill row. Pick the asset, type the amount, paste a recipient address.

  • Address validation is ^[GC][A-Z2-7]{55}$ (Stellar G- or C-addresses; nothing else).
  • MAX chip prefills your full available balance.
  • The hint chip reads "Settles in ~5 seconds on Stellar testnet" — that's the real Stellar finality window.

On submit, Pesalo builds an Operation.payment, signs it with the on-device key, and POSTs the base64 envelope straight to Horizon. There's no relayer in the middle — the send fails immediately if the recipient doesn't exist on testnet or your balance is short.

What if the send fails?​

The red error line shows Stellar's actual rejection code translated into plain English. Common ones:

  • "The destination account doesn't exist on testnet yet." — recipient hasn't been Friendbot-funded.
  • "The destination is at its trustline limit." — they trust the asset but their cap is full.
  • "Not enough XLM to satisfy the base reserve." — your account is below the 2 XLM reserve floor. Top up with Friendbot.
