# Transfer **This function is used to transfer an asset within the protocol to another address. A manager of an account is also able to perform a transfer on behalf of the account. Account balances change but the asset does not leave the protocol contract.** **The transfer will fail if it would make the account liquidatable. There are two variants of the transfer function: transfer and transferAsset. The former conforms to the VRC-20 standard and transfers the base asset, while the latter requires specifying a specific asset to transfer.** --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
