# Send funds
Sending works the same way for every currency in Cake Wallet: pick a destination, set an amount, check the fee, confirm. Two minutes, start to finish.
{% hint style="info" %}
Make sure your wallet is synced before sending — an unsynced wallet may show the wrong balance or fail to build the transaction.
{% endhint %}
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
### Open the Send screen
Tap `Send` on the home screen.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Enter the destination
Four ways, in order of safety and convenience:
* **Scan** the recipient's QR code.
* **Pick from your contacts** — tap the contacts icon; the `Wallets` tab also lets you send between your own wallets.
* **Paste** a copied address.
* **Type an alias** — the address field resolves human-readable names (ENS, OpenAlias, and more; see [Address lookup services](https://docs.cakewallet.com/features/advanced/address-lookup-services)).
{% hint style="warning" %}
Always compare the first and last few characters of the pasted address against the original. Clipboard-hijacking malware that swaps addresses is real — seconds of checking beats an unrecoverable mistake.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Set the amount
Enter an amount in crypto or in your fiat currency — Cake Wallet converts as you type. Tap `Max` to send everything (the network fee is deducted from the total). Need to pay several people at once? The `+` button at the top right of the send screen lets you easily build one transaction with multiple different destinations.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Check the fee
Tap the fee row to choose a priority. Faster confirmation costs more:
* **Bitcoin-family**: priorities show a time estimate and sat/byte rate (Medium is the default), plus a `Custom` rate for full control.
* **Monero**: `Automatic` is the default and right for almost everyone; higher priorities pay more to confirm sooner.
* **Ethereum and tokens**: the fee is gas paid in the chain's native coin — to send USDT you need a little ETH.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Review and send
The confirmation sheet shows the destination, amount, fee, and network. Check the address one last time, then `Swipe to send`.
From the success screen you can save the recipient as a contact or add a private note — notes stay on your device, visible only to you.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Track it
Your new transaction appears in `History` immediately. Tap it for details: confirmations, fee, transaction ID, and a block-explorer link. Bitcoin transactions also offer `Bump fee` if you chose too slow a priority and want to speed things up.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
## Troubleshooting
"Not enough inputs available"
Some of your outputs are likely deselected or frozen in [Coin Control](https://docs.cakewallet.com/features/advanced/coin-control). Open `Advanced Settings` → `Coin Control` on the Send screen and select more outputs, or unfreeze them.
My transaction is stuck as pending
On Bitcoin, open the transaction's details and use `Bump fee` to replace it with a higher-fee version. On other chains, pending transactions almost always confirm — they just need more time when the network is busy. See [Why are my funds not appearing?](https://docs.cakewallet.com/faq/funds-not-appearing) for more.
The available balance is lower than my total balance
Recently received funds need confirmations before they're spendable on chains like Monero, and frozen coins are excluded. See [Why is my Available Balance 0?](https://docs.cakewallet.com/faq/zero-balance).
