# Withdraw funds safely

Moving profits out is the one action you can't undo. Two minutes of care here beats any recovery attempt later.

## Step 0 — Enable 2FA first

If you haven't: [Security & 2FA](../account/security). Withdrawals are 2FA-gated once it's on — this is the single best protection for your funds.

## Withdrawing SOL

1. **Wallets** → select the wallet → **Withdraw / Transfer SOL**.
2. Paste the **destination address**. Read it back — check the first and last 6 characters against the source you copied it from.
3. **Send a small test amount first** (e.g. 0.01 SOL) to any address you haven't used before.
4. Confirm the test arrived at the destination.
5. Send the real amount. Enter your 2FA code when prompted.

Leave a little SOL behind in the wallet if you still hold tokens there — closing/managing token accounts needs fee money.

## Withdrawing tokens

The web withdraw modal supports SPL tokens: choose the **token** (shown with its image), destination and amount. The same test-first rule applies — token transfers to a wrong or hostile address are just as unrecoverable.

## Multi-recipient & sweep

* **Multi-recipient transfer** sends from one wallet to several destinations in one flow.
* **Transfer all** sweeps a wallet's SOL to a single destination — used when retiring a wallet. Reclaim rent first ([Withdraw, burn & claim rent](../wallet-tools/withdraw-burn-rent)) so the sweep includes every recoverable lamport.

## Red flags — stop if…

* Anyone *instructs* you to withdraw to "verify", "unlock", or "upgrade" anything. That's a scam, every time.
* The destination came from a DM, a comment thread, or a lookalike bot.
* You're being rushed. Irreversible actions and urgency don't mix.
