Did you ever want to know how to send QRC Standard Tokens easily with Qtum’s QT Wallet desktop app? Well if so, you are at the right place.

QRC Standard Tokens are equivalent to ERC20 Standard Tokens.

As of today’s date, Qtum’s QT Wallet version is v1.1.2. You can find the download link here:

  1. First things first, go and download the client through the link above and extract the files to a folder on your computer.
  2. In Terminal (I am using a Macbook Pro), go to your folder where you extracted the files and go into the /bin folder : qtum-x.xx.x/bin
  3. Launch QT Wallet with the command: ./qtum-qt --logevents

Please note you might get a message asking you to reindex. If that is the case, run with this command: ./qtum-qt --logevents --reindex

4. In QT Wallet’s Overview tab, click on Add Token.

5. Copy/paste the QRC token’s contract address in the Contract Address field.

6. Select the Token Address which is the address you would like to monitor the token balance for.

7. Click the Confirm button.

8. You should now see the QRC token balance for that address.

9. In the same QRC Token tab, you can now select the address you would like to send some tokens from and click the Send button.

10. In the PayTo field, add the Qtum address of the person you would like to send some of your tokens to.

11. Enter the Amount of tokens to send in decimal format.

12. You can add an optional Description if you so chose.

13. Finally, click the Confirm button. Wait for the timer on the Yes button to finish, then click it!

14. You should see the Sent to transaction appear in the list of transactions. And now you can patiently wait while your transaction gets mined.
