  • A max of 10 balance adjustments in its hbar transferList

  • A max of 10 token fungible balance adjustments across all its tokenTransferList’s

  • A max of 10 NFT ownership changes across all its tokenTransferList’s

  • There’s also a maximum of 20 balance adjustments or NFT ownership changes implied by a transaction (including custom fees)

  • If you are transferring a token with custom fees, only two levels of nesting of fees are allowed

  • The sending account is responsible to pay for the custom token fees

Transaction Fees

  • Please see the transaction and query fees table for base transaction fee

Spender Account Allowances

An account can have another account spend tokens on its behalf. If the delegated spender account is transacting tokens from the owner account that authorized the allowance, the owner account needs to be specified in the transfer transaction by calling one of the following:

  • addApprovedHbarTransfer()

  • addApprovedTokenTransfer()

  • addApprovedNftTransfer()

  • addApprovedTokenTransferWithDecimals()

The debiting account is the owner account when using this feature.

Transaction Signing Requirements

  • The accounts the tokens are being debited from are required to sign the transaction

    • If an authorized spender account is spending on behalf of the account that owns the tokens then the spending account is required to sign

  • The transaction fee paying account is required to sign the transaction
