Sending out

Withdrawing HRM means broadcasting a real ERC-20 transfer on Base Mainnet.

Hermes prepares the transfer, asks the wallet on the device to sign it locally and then broadcasts the signed raw transaction. The destination must be a valid EVM address that can receive assets on the same Base network.

Preflight checklist

  • Confirm the address is an EVM address starting with 0x.
  • Keep some ETH on the active Base network for gas.
  • Review the amount carefully before signing.
  • Remember that on-chain transfers are final once broadcast.

What Hermes does

Hermes prepares the ERC-20 transfer parameters, asks the device wallet to sign locally and then broadcasts the raw signed transaction. Hermes does not sign transfers server-side for user wallets.

What Hermes does not do

Hermes does not bridge HRM across networks and does not convert HRM into fiat or stablecoins inside this flow.

If a send looks stuck

Check gas first, then open the explorer link from Hermes. The chain state is authoritative. Refresh delays, provider lag or RPC delay can make the app feel slower than the network for a short time.

Disabling HRM inside Hermes does not undo on-chain transfers. The recovery phrase remains the root credential for restoring or moving the wallet somewhere else.
