Transfer Methods

Transfer methods for SOL distribution and withdrawal with Launchpad Trade API

Every distribute and withdraw request includes a method parameter that controls how SOL is routed between wallets. The method you choose determines how wallets are linked and whether transactions are traceable on-chain.

The method applies to both Distribute (one wallet → many) and Withdraw (many → one wallet). The same options are available for both directions.

Available Methods

DIRECT
ISOLATED
EXCHANGE
PRIVACY PROTOCOL

The fastest option. Standard SOL transfer — source and destination are directly connected on-chain.

Speed: Instant
Cost: Standard transaction fee (~0.000005 SOL)
Wallet linking: Linked — wallets are visibly connected
On-chain traceability: Traceable

{
  "method": "DIRECT"
}

Use when speed matters and wallet association is not a concern — internal transfers, testing, or wallets that are already publicly linked.

Separates source and destination wallets. Use when you need wallets that appear operationally independent — for example, preparing multiple wallets before trading operations. Transfers are routed through intermediate paths so wallet-clustering tools will not show a direct connection.

Speed: A few seconds
Cost: Additional routing fees (~0.00005 SOL per wallet)
Wallet linking: Not linked — wallets are not visibly connected
On-chain traceability: Traceable — transactions visible on-chain

{
  "method": "ISOLATED"
}

Think of it like using separate sub-accounts at a brokerage — same owner, operationally independent from an outside perspective.

Routes SOL through your centralized exchange account. Destination wallets show the exchange as their funding source — wallets are not linked and the funding looks like a standard exchange withdrawal.

Speed: Minutes (deposit + withdrawal processing)
Cost: Exchange withdrawal fees
Wallet linking: Not linked — no visible connection
On-chain traceability: Operationally isolated — looks like a standard exchange withdrawal

{
  "method": "EXCHANGE",
  "config": {
    "exchange": "BINANCE"
  }
}

Ideal for funding wallets that will be publicly visible — top holders, high-profile positions, or any wallet where the funding source will be scrutinized.

Routes transfers through privacy protocols for full cryptographic isolation. Source and destination wallets are operationally independent.

Speed: A few seconds
Cost: Protocol fees
Wallet linking: Not linked — no visible connection
On-chain traceability: Operationally isolated — cryptographic separation

{
  "method": "PRIVACY"
}

Ideal for withdrawing profits or consolidating funds to a main wallet while maintaining operational independence between your trading wallets and your personal wallet.

Choosing a Method

For Distribute (one → many)

Scenario	Recommended
Internal transfers, testing	`DIRECT`
Preparing wallets for trading operations	`ISOLATED`
Wallets that will be publicly scrutinized	`EXCHANGE` (coming soon)

For Withdraw (many → one)

Scenario	Recommended
Simple consolidation	`DIRECT`
Consolidating without linking wallets	`ISOLATED`
Maximum operational separation	`PRIVACY` (coming soon)
