Send your first transaction

Pick a destination address (a friend’s, or your own second wallet). Then preview what you’re about to send with --dry-run — this builds and validates the transaction in the mempool without broadcasting it:

animica tx send \
  --from anim1...your-address \
  --to anim1...destination \
  --value 0.1 \
  --dry-run

Use the anim1... addresses from animica wallet list. The dry-run output shows the assembled transaction (fee, nonce, validity window). If it complains about the from-address being unknown, double-check that the label / address matches a wallet in wallet list.

Mark this step complete after the dry-run prints a valid simulated transaction.

Re-run the same command without --dry-run to actually sign with the post-quantum keypair in ~/.animica/wallets.json and broadcast to the node:

animica tx send \
  --from anim1...your-address \
  --to anim1...destination \
  --value 0.1

The CLI prints the transaction hash on success. Copy it — you’ll need it in the next step. The signing happens locally; nothing about your seed phrase leaves the machine.

Mark this step complete once you have a transaction hash.

Look up the receipt:

animica tx status 0x...your-tx-hash

You’ll see one of pending, included (in a block), or error. Once included, the result shows the block height and the gas used.

You can cross-check on the explorer:

https://explorer.animica.org/tx/0x...your-tx-hash

Mark this step complete after tx status returns included (or after you’ve found the transaction on the explorer).
