# Moving Money

Paying someone on MansaFi has the texture of sending a message rather than filing paperwork. Underneath, each payment is a zero-knowledge proof clearing on Robinhood Chain. From where you sit, it simply works.

***

## Paying

### 1. Pick who

Destinations you can use:

* A `@handle`, which is how most payments go out
* A QR code, scanned in person or from a saved image
* A request link somebody sent you
* A raw EVM address (`0x...`), for advanced cases or wallets outside MansaFi

### 2. Set an amount, optionally a note

The memo field is encrypted and readable only by the two of you. It is never written to the chain in the clear.

### 3. Approve it

Check the figure and the destination, then authorize with your device's biometric prompt — the same passkey from signup. Your device builds the zero-knowledge proof and submits it to Robinhood Chain. Your key, your proof, your hardware.

### 4. That's it

Finality is near-immediate: the payment surfaces in both feeds inside roughly 100 milliseconds. Quicker than a card terminal, and private without being asked. Sending to a raw EVM address still settles on-chain, though confidentiality requires that wallet to support MansaFi's confidential token contracts.

***

## Getting paid

Receiving asks nothing of you. Anything sent to your `@handle`, your address, or a request you generated arrives on its own and appears in your feed.

### Asking for a specific figure

Build a request from **Send/Receive → Request**:

* Attach an amount, or leave it blank and let the payer decide
* Attach a memo explaining what it covers
* Pass along the link or QR code

Request links open in any browser, including for people who have never heard of MansaFi. A new payer is walked through account creation before they pay, so the request doubles as an invitation.

***

## Paying a wallet outside MansaFi

Send USDG to a raw address that is not configured for confidential transfers and MansaFi stops to tell you the payment will clear as an ordinary public ERC-20 transfer instead. That trade-off is always shown before you confirm. Confidentiality is never dropped quietly.

***

## What it costs

MansaFi charges nothing for transfers during beta. You pay only Robinhood Chain gas — typically a fraction of a cent — drawn automatically from your ETH float.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.mansafi.xyz/everyday-use/moving-money.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
