# How do I send a transaction with Blink?

Blink provides an easy way to send Bitcoin transactions using both on-chain and Lightning networks. To send a transaction, you can do the following:

* Enter the recipient's on-chain address (starting with `bc1...`) or a Lightning invoice (starting with `lnbc1...`).
* Alternatively, you can use the recipient's Lightning Address which looks like an email address (e.g. `username@blink.sv`) or the username of another Blink user to make the payment.
* Choose if you want to spend from your Bitcoin or Stablesats (USD) account.
* Finally, confirm the transaction details and send the payment.
