# Algorand

Initiating transfers to Algorand is the same as for the other chains, you have to use chain symbol `ChainSymbol.ALG` as a destination chain. Make sure that the recipient wallet address opted in to receive the token (read more [here](https://dev.algorand.co/concepts/assets/asset-operations/#optin)).

To send transfers from Algorand you have to initialize Allbridge Core SDK with Algorand node URL.

```typescript
const sdk = new AllbridgeCoreSdk({ ...nodeRpcUrlsDefault, ALG: getEnvVar("ALG_PROVIDER_URL") });
```

After the SDK is initialized you can create a token send transaction.

```typescript
const rawTransactionTransfer = (await sdk.bridge.rawTxBuilder.send({
    amount: amount,
    fromAccountAddress: fromAddress,
    toAccountAddress: toAddress,
    sourceToken: sourceToken,
    destinationToken: destinationToken,
    messenger: Messenger.ALLBRIDGE,
    // gasFeePaymentMethod: FeePaymentMethod.WITH_STABLECOIN
  })) as RawAlgTransaction;
  const txId = await sendAlgRawTransaction(rawTransactionTransfer);
```

You can construct transaction to pay the relayer fee either from the body of the transfer itself or with ALGO token (by specifying `gasFeePaymentMethod` parameter.

In the example above the signing and sending of transaction is within the `sendAlgRawTransaction` function. You can check out the full code in our examples:
