transferAddressUint256

Transferaddressuint256 is not a standard term in Solidity or Ethereum documentation. It may appear as a mnemonic or composite label in some codebases or docs to describe a payload or interface that pairs a recipient address with an amount represented as a uint256. In practice, such payloads are common for transfer operations on Ethereum-based tokens and contracts.

The concept often appears in the context of a function signature like transfer(address,uint256). The data layout in the Ethereum ABI places the recipient address and the amount in that order, and a low-level call typically uses that pair as parameters. Some codebases or documentation might refer to this concept with a combined name such as transferAddressUint256 to indicate an operation that moves value to a specific address with a given amount. It is usually a descriptive label rather than a distinct language construct.

Implementation patterns: In Solidity, a function to perform this action is commonly defined as transfer(address to, uint256 amount) and implemented in tokens following interfaces such as ERC-20 (transfer(address,uint256)). When constructing raw transaction data, developers encode the function selector for transfer(address,uint256) and supply the encoded address and amount via ABI encoding.

Security considerations: Validate inputs, ensure proper access control where required, follow the checks-effects-interactions pattern to mitigate reentrancy risks, and emit events to log transfers. Rely on Solidity’s safe arithmetic behavior (or explicit checks) to prevent overflow.
