Transfer tokens
Transfer tokens from some accounts to other accounts. The transaction must be signed by the sending account. Each negative amount is withdrawn from the corresponding account (a sender), and each positive one is added to the corresponding account (a receiver). All amounts must have a sum of zero. This does not apply to NFT token transfers. Each amount is a number with the lowest denomination possible for a token. Example: Token X has 2 decimals. Account A transfers an amount of 100 tokens by providing 10000 as the amount in the TransferList. If Account A wants to send 100.55 tokens, he must provide 10055 as the amount. If any sender account fails to have a sufficient token balance, then the entire transaction fails and none of the transfers occur, though the transaction fee is still charged. This transaction accepts zero unit token transfer operations for fungible tokens (HIP-564).
Custom Fee Tokens
Custom fee tokens are tokens that have a unique custom fee schedule associated to them. The sender account is required to pay for the custom fee(s) associated with the token that is being transferred. The sender account must have the amount of the custom fee token being transferred and the custom fee amounts to successfully process the transaction. You can check to see if the token has a custom fee schedule by requesting the token info query. Token with custom fees allow up two levels of nesting in a transfer transaction.
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
