How to Transfer CFX from MOONSWAP Wallet to an Exchange

·

Transferring cryptocurrency from a decentralized wallet like MOONSWAP to a centralized exchange can sometimes feel confusing—especially if you haven’t accessed your wallet in years. If you're trying to move CFX (Conflux tokens) out of your MOONSWAP wallet and into an exchange such as OKX, Binance, or others, this guide will walk you through the process step by step.

Whether you're cashing out, trading, or simply securing your assets on a more accessible platform, understanding how to properly transfer CFX is essential. We’ll address common issues users face—like missing “withdraw” buttons, outdated cross-chain bridges, and interface confusion—and provide clear, actionable solutions.

Understanding MOONSWAP Wallet and CFX Transfers

MOONSWAP is a decentralized exchange (DEX) built on the Conflux Network, allowing users to swap tokens directly from their wallets. However, unlike centralized platforms, DEXs often don’t feature traditional “withdraw” buttons. Instead, sending tokens involves using the send or transfer function within your connected wallet—such as MetaMask or the Conflux Portal Wallet.

A common misconception is that you must use MOONSWAP’s interface to send CFX. In reality, MOONSWAP itself is just a swapping interface; your funds are stored in your personal crypto wallet. This means transferring CFX doesn’t happen through MOONSWAP—it happens from your wallet.

Step-by-Step: How to Transfer CFX from Your Wallet to an Exchange

Step 1: Identify Your Wallet Type

First, determine which wallet holds your CFX:

Your wallet type affects how you access and send funds. If you’ve used MOONSWAP before, you likely connected one of these wallets during login.

🔍 Tip: If you haven’t logged in for three years, ensure you still have access to your private key, seed phrase, or wallet file. Without it, recovery may not be possible.

Step 2: Get Your Exchange Deposit Address

To transfer CFX to an exchange:

  1. Log in to your exchange account (e.g., OKX, Huobi, etc.).
  2. Navigate to Deposit > CFX (Conflux).
  3. Copy the provided deposit address (a long string starting with “cfx:...”).

⚠️ Important: Only deposit CFX via the Conflux Network (Core Space). Sending via the wrong network (e.g., eSpace or ShuttleFlow) may result in permanent loss.

Step 3: Send CFX from Your Wallet

Now that you have the deposit address:

If Using Conflux Portal Wallet:

  1. Open Conflux Portal.
  2. Connect your wallet.
  3. Click Send.
  4. Paste the exchange’s CFX address.
  5. Enter the amount and confirm the transaction.

If Using MetaMask:

  1. Switch to the Conflux eSpace network (if using eSpace-based assets).
  2. Use a bridge-compatible dApp to move funds to Core Space if needed.
  3. Alternatively, use the Portal Wallet for direct Core Space transactions.
Note: CFX on Core Space cannot be sent directly through MetaMask without proper network configuration.

Why There’s No “Withdraw” Button in MOONSWAP

Many users report confusion because MOONSWAP only shows a "Swap" option for CFX—not "Send" or "Withdraw." That’s because:

To send CFX, you need to interact directly with your wallet—not the MOONSWAP app.

👉 Access a trusted platform to deposit and trade your CFX safely.

Addressing the ShuttleFlow Issue

You mentioned seeing a warning about ShuttleFlow being discontinued in 2021 when trying to transfer CETH (Conflux Ether). This is accurate.

ShuttleFlow was the original cross-chain bridge between Conflux’s Core Space and its EVM-compatible eSpace. It has since been replaced by Conflux Portal Bridge, which offers improved security and functionality.

What You Should Do:

If you hold CETH on eSpace and want to move it:

  1. Use the Portal Bridge to transfer CETH back to Core Space.
  2. Then convert or send CFX as needed.

FAQs: Common Questions About Transferring CFX

Q1: Can I transfer CFX directly from MOONSWAP?

No. MOONSWAP is a decentralized exchange interface—it doesn’t support sending tokens. You must use your connected wallet (like Conflux Portal or MetaMask) to initiate transfers.

Q2: I don’t see a “Send” option—what should I do?

Ensure you're viewing your wallet’s asset list correctly. In Conflux Portal, go to Assets > CFX > Send. If using MetaMask, make sure you're on the correct network (Conflux eSpace) and consider switching to Portal Wallet for Core Space transfers.

Q3: Will I lose my funds if I used the wrong bridge?

If you attempted to use ShuttleFlow after its deprecation, the transaction may have failed—but your funds are likely still in your wallet. Cancel pending transactions and switch to the current Conflux Portal Bridge.

Q4: Is there an official tutorial for transferring CFX?

Yes. The Conflux Foundation provides detailed guides at https://confluxnetwork.org. Look for sections on "Using Portal Wallet" and "Cross-Space Transfers."

Q5: Can customer support help recover my account?

Decentralized wallets do not have customer service. There is no way to recover a lost seed phrase or private key. Always back up your credentials securely.

Q6: How much does it cost to send CFX?

Transaction fees on Conflux are extremely low—typically less than 0.1 CFX per transfer. This makes moving funds very affordable compared to other blockchains.

Final Tips for Safe and Successful Transfers

Conclusion

Transferring CFX from your MOONSWAP-connected wallet to an exchange is entirely possible—you just need to do it from your actual wallet interface, not through MOONSWAP itself. By understanding that MOONSWAP is only a swap tool, and leveraging tools like Conflux Portal Wallet and the Portal Bridge, you can regain control of your assets safely and efficiently.

Even after years of inactivity, your funds remain accessible as long as you retain access to your wallet credentials.
