HPAY: send to an @name

This guide shows you how to send QUAI to a friend by typing their Hartii @name. It takes about two minutes.

Who it's for: anyone who wants to pay someone on Quai without copying a long address.

What you'll need

A Pelagus wallet (desktop browser extension) or the Blip app (on mobile, open the page inside Blip).
Enough QUAI for the amount you want to send plus a small network fee (gas).
Your wallet switched to Quai Mainnet (chain 9).

Open hartiibiome.com/hpay. The Send to @name tab is selected by default.
In Send to, type the person's @name (3 to 16 letters, numbers or _) or paste a Quai address that starts with 0x00. HPAY looks the name up on-chain before anything is sent. If it works, you will see who it resolves to.
In Amount (QUAI), type how much to send, for example 5. Up to 18 decimal places are allowed.
Optional: open More options and add a Memo (optional), up to 140 characters. The memo is a note for the share link, not part of the on-chain transaction, so never put private information in it.
Press Review send. A Confirm payment card appears showing To, the full Address, Amount and Network fee (first it says "Estimating…", then a number).
Check the address and amount carefully. This is your last chance to catch a typo.
Press Connect Pelagus (or Connect Blip) and approve the connection in your wallet.
Press the Send button, which now shows the amount (for example "Send 5 QUAI"). Your wallet opens a prompt. Check the address, amount and network again, then approve.

First: Sent. Waiting for confirmation on-chain. and a Transaction link. "Sent" only means your wallet handed over a transaction.
A moment later: Confirmed on-chain. That is the real "it arrived" signal.
If you see Still pending, wait and use the Transaction link to check its status on Quaiscan.
If you see The transaction was mined but failed (status 0), nothing was delivered, though gas may still have been used.

HPAY charges no service fee. You pay only the network gas, shown on the confirmation card before you sign.
It is a plain QUAI transfer; the asset is always QUAI.
Memo: 140 characters at most.

Wrong network. If you see "Wrong network — switch your wallet to Quai Mainnet (chain 9) to continue.", switch networks in your wallet and try again.
Qi address. HPAY sends QUAI and refuses Qi-ledger addresses: "That is a Qi-ledger address, not a Quai one. HPAY sends QUAI — use a Quai address." Ask the person for their Quai address (starts with 0x00) or their @name.
Name not found. "No Hartii profile owns @name" means the name is not registered. Double-check the spelling with the person.
Not enough QUAI. You need the amount plus gas. Top up and review again.
Wallet changed. If you switch accounts or networks mid-way, HPAY says "Wallet changed. Review the recipient and amount again before sending." Press Review send again.
Pending for a long time. Open the Transaction link on Quaiscan and wait. Never send the payment again until you have checked; you could pay twice.
Sharing a prefilled link. A link like hartiibiome.com/hpay?to=@name&amount=5 only fills in the form. Nobody can send from it without approving in their own wallet.
