This document introduces how to transfer the cryptocurrency you received to an external cryptocurrency address.

​
1. Create crypto payout request

You can create crypto payout requests through Payments App or Payments API.
  1. Log in to Cobo Portal development environment or production environment.
  2. In the left navigation bar, click Apps, then click the Payments card to launch the App.
  3. In the App’s left navigation bar, click Funds Management > Payouts.
  4. You can choose to withdraw from Merchant balance or Developer balance. In this example, we choose to withdraw from the merchant balance. Click the Payout button on the Merchant Balance card.
  5. In the pop-up window, select Crypto Payout. Crypto payout entry
  6. Fill in the transfer information, including token, network, merchant name, amount, and receiving address.
    If you have enabled the Use Destinations as Payout Whitelist toggle in Destinations, you can only transfer to registered destinations. For more details, see Destinations
  7. Auto-Select Sources:
    • When enabled, you only need to enter the total payout amount, and the system automatically allocates the payout across available token balances in your wallet.
    • When disabled, you must manually specify the payout amount for each token. This option is enabled by default and can be turned off if needed.
  8. Cross-chain payout: When paying out USDT or USDC on a specific network, the system can use USDT or USDC balances on other networks in your wallet and bridge them before payout. Currently, only same-asset cross-chain payouts are supported. Cross-asset conversion is not supported.
    1. Fees: Same-asset cross-chain payouts incur a processing fee, which is automatically calculated based on the payout amount.
    2. Example: Available balances in the source account:
      • 150 USDT (Tron)
      • 50 USDT (Ethereum)
      If the total payout amount is 200 USDT (Tron), the system will bridge 50 USDT (Ethereum). With a cross-chain fee of 10 USDT (Ethereum), the estimated amount received will be 190 USDT (Tron).
  9. Follow the on-page prompts to confirm and submit the transfer request.

​
2. Complete secondary confirmation, risk control review, and transaction signing

After creating a transfer request, based on your submission method, risk control settings, and other factors, you need to complete the following operations:
  • Secondary confirmation: If you transfer through Payments App, you need to confirm the transfer request on Cobo Guard.
  • Risk control review: If you have set transaction policies, reviewers may need to approve the transfer request on Cobo Guard.
  • Transaction signing: If you are using MPC Wallets, Mobile Co-Signer or Server Co-Signer needs to sign to finally complete the transfer operation.
