Send Your First Transaction

To send TDC: open your wallet’s Send view, paste the recipient’s address, enter an amount, let the wallet estimate a fee, review, and confirm. The wallet signs the transaction with your post-quantum key, broadcasts it to the network, and the recipient sees it pending after propagation. A block confirmation makes the transaction harder to reverse; more confirmations reduce risk further.

First-send flow

Ask the recipient for a fresh Tidecoin address.
Confirm you are on the right network: mainnet for real TDC, testnet for testing.
Paste the address into your wallet. Do not type it by hand.
Send a small test amount first.
Review the fee, destination, and total amount.
Broadcast the transaction.
Wait for confirmations before sending a larger amount.

Review before broadcast

Check	Why it matters
Address prefix	Helps catch wrong-network mistakes.
Amount	Wallets may show amount, fee, and total separately.
Fee	Too low can delay confirmation; too high wastes funds.
Change address	Advanced users should verify change stays in their wallet.
Backup status	Never send the remaining balance of an unbacked-up wallet.

If the transaction is slow

Confirm that your wallet is connected and synchronized. If the transaction is still in the mempool, it may simply be waiting for a block. If it never appears to peers, check the wallet’s transaction details and node connectivity before creating another payment.
