[SOLVED] Can't send native tokens to a wallet and ADA+Tokens to another

Developers Transaction Metadata

Hey guys, i’m kinda new to all this and i’m having the following issue:

I’ve got this wallet:

$ cardano-cli query utxo --address $(cat payment.addr ) --mainnet
                           TxHash                                 TxIx        Amount
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9fd27cf74cc30982fc927d1c60e6523cutxoutxoutxo1d0aacb71d330c5e542e     0        4810211 lovelace + 1000001 38149ef0f3886ffedpolicyidpolicyid9243c3dc0b76e0a1ef37662.TokenName + TxOutDatumHashNone

I’m trying to send away 1000000 TokenName and keep 1 and the resulting change.

So i’ve done this:

utxo=4810211
txin=9fd27cf74cc30982fc927d1c60e6523cutxoutxoutxo1d0aacb71d330c5e542e
txix=0
expire=$(( $(cardano-cli query tip --mainnet | jq -r '.slot') + 1800 ))
cardano-cli transaction build-raw \
        --fee 10000 \
        --tx-in "$txin#$txix" \
        --tx-out "$(cat tokens.addr)+1000000 $(cat policy/tokens/policy.id).TokenName" \
        --tx-out "$(cat payment.addr)+$((utxo-fee))+1 $(cat policy/tokens/policy.id).TokenName" \
        --invalid-hereafter $expire \
        --out-file token_tx.raw

then i calculate the fee, considering there’s just one txin and two tx-outs.

    fee=( $(cardano-cli transaction calculate-min-fee \
    --tx-body-file token_tx.raw \
    --tx-in-count 1 \
    --tx-out-count 2 \
    --witness-count 2 \
    --protocol-params-file protocol.json) )

Then i rebuild the transaction:

cardano-cli transaction build-raw \
        --fee ${fee[0]} \
        --tx-in "$txin#$txix" \
        --tx-out "$(cat tokens.addr)+1000000 $(cat policy/tokens/policy.id).TokenName" \
        --tx-out "$(cat payment.addr)+$((utxo-fee))+1 $(cat policy/tokens/policy.id).TokenName" \
        --invalid-hereafter $expire \
        --out-file token_tx.raw

Then i sign it and sumit:

cardano-cli transaction sign \
        --signing-key-file payment.skey \
        --mainnet \
        --tx-body-file token_tx.raw \
        --out-file token_tx.signed

cardano-cli transaction submit \
        --tx-file token_tx.signed \
        --mainnet

And i get the following error:

Command failed: transaction submit  Error: Error while submitting tx: ShelleyTxValidationError ShelleyBasedEraAlonzo (ApplyTxError [UtxowFailure (WrappedShelleyEraFailure (UtxoFailure (OutputTooSmallUTxO [(Addr Mainnet (KeyHashObj (KeyHash "<somehash>")) (StakeRefBase (KeyHashObj (KeyHash "<another hash>"))),Value 0 (fromList [(PolicyID {policyID = ScriptHash "<script hash>"},fromList [("TokenName",1000000)])]),SNothing)])))])

I have simply NO IDEA what i’m doing wrong. Any ideas?

I also couldn’t transfer the tokens while minting. This is what i tried:

fee=( 0 )
    cardano-cli transaction build-raw \
        --fee ${fee[0]} \
        --tx-in "$txin#$txix" \
        --tx-out "$(cat payment.addr)+0+1 $(cat policy/tokens/policy.id).TokenName" \
        --tx-out "$(cat tokens.addr)+$token_quantity $(cat policy/tokens/policy.id).TokenName" \
        --mint "$(($token_quantity+1)) $(cat policy/tokens/policy.id).TokenName" \
        --minting-script-file policy/tokens/token_policy.script \
        --metadata-json-file policy/tokens/token_meta.json \
        --out-file token_tx.raw

and then calculated fees for 1 txin and two tx-outs.

Hi @atcasanova welcome to the community.

When sending native tokens you always need to include some ADA. As per the protocol rules it is not possible to have only non-ADA tokens being part of a UTXO. There must always be some ADA.

Please see following links:

I found no option to do this. Is it enough to edit the title?
