# How SPLEN Works

## How SPLEN Works

SPLEN uses a simple claim-based transfer flow.

### 1. Create a transfer

The sender selects the asset and amount they want to send.

### 2. Assets enter escrow

The assets are secured by the SPLEN escrow contract while waiting to be claimed.

### 3. Generate a claim link

SPLEN generates a private claim link for the transfer.

The sender can share this link directly with the intended recipient.

### 4. Recipient opens the link

The recipient opens the claim link and selects the wallet where they want to receive the assets.

### 5. Claim

The recipient claims the assets without needing to pay the transaction gas themselves.

Once claimed, the assets are transferred to the recipient's wallet.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.splen.site/splen/how-splen-works.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
