Can I transfer the balance to the same address on Polkadot?

Question

Can I send a balance when my from address and to address are the same?

The reason for asking these questions is to deal with exceptions during development.

Of course, I can test it myself, but I don't have a test coin. haha

we'll have to test it out one more time before it's released, but do you have any information?

Answer 1

Yes you can, and you will pay for the fees of such a transaction. And take care of not reaping your account when doing this interaction.What can be avoided by using KeepAlive when transacting any balance between two accounts.

But as you say this is something that you could have tested easily in one of the test public networks:

• Westend RPC
• Westend Faucet
• Rococo RPC
