# Transfer ## Payout The Payout feature allows you to initiate withdrawals from your AkashicPay account to external addresses. If you're planning to make a withdrawal, navigate to the Payout page and follow these steps: ### Withdrawal Process
1. **Select Cryptocurrency**: Begin by choosing the cryptocurrency you wish to withdraw from the available options. 2. **Enter Recipient's Address**: Carefully input the recipient's account address where you want to send the funds. Double-check the address to avoid any errors. 3. **Specify the Amount**: Enter the amount you want to withdraw. 4. **View Actual Amount**: After entering the amount, the system will automatically calculate and display the actual amount that will be transferred after deducting any applicable fees. > **Important**: Always verify the recipient's address carefully before initiating a payout. Blockchain transactions cannot be reversed once confirmed. ### Confirmation Process
After clicking "Payout," the process continues with these verification steps: 1. **AkashicLink Signature Request**: You'll be directed to a Payout Confirmation signature request on your [AkashicLink](/introduction/terminology.md#akashiclink). 2. **Review Transaction Details**: This is your opportunity to review all details of your withdrawal before finalising it. Carefully check: * Recipient's address * Selected cryptocurrency * Withdrawal amount 3. **Confirm Transaction**: If everything looks correct, click "Confirm" to proceed with the withdrawal. 4. **Confirmation Modal**: After completing the signature process in the [AkashicLink](/introduction/terminology.md#akashiclink) pop-up window, you will receive a confirmation modal indicating that your request has been successfully submitted. This multi-step confirmation process adds an extra layer of security, helping prevent errors and ensuring that your funds are sent exactly where and how you intend.
### Fee Considerations When making a payout, keep in mind: * The displayed "Actual Amount" already accounts for transaction fees * Different networks (Ethereum, Tron, BNB Smart Chain (BSC) and Solana) have different fee structures * [Layer-1](/introduction/terminology.md#layer-1) withdrawals may incur higher fees than [Layer-2](/introduction/terminology.md#layer-2) transactions * [Gas fees](/introduction/terminology.md#fees-gas) may vary based on network conditions ## Payout Approval The Payout Approval feature requires enabling the Multisig feature and [generating your Treasury KeyPair](/dashboard/developers.md#generate-treasury-keypair). For more details, please refer [here](/dashboard/developers.md#multisig-feature-enabling-process).
Transactions initiated manually or via API/SDK using the API/SDK KeyPair must be approved or denied with the Treasury KeyPair.
