# requestKernelBlockTransfer

mutation · in the family [Billing and the wallet](/reference/billing-and-the-wallet/)

## What it does

Ask AlmondTill to move whole kernel blocks you bought to another group. Eligible blocks: untouched, settled at least 90 days ago, never moved before.

Ask AlmondTill to move named kernel blocks to another group WHOLE. Eligible blocks: never-opened, unfrozen stock (approved | transfer_denied) settled ≥ 90 days ago and never moved before (one transfer per block, forever). ⚠ THE ASK FREEZES the blocks at once — they cannot be consumed until AlmondTill approves or denies (freezing most of your stock can starve the wallet; the answer names each block's state). An ineligible block refuses with why; the destination must be another group with a live wallet. Requires the unrestricted capability. Template class A16_BILLING (hand-derived v94).

## What happens

The named blocks FREEZE the moment you ask — they cannot be consumed until AlmondTill approves or denies (usually within 7 days). Freezing most of your stock can leave the wallet with nothing to run on.

## Who may call it

## Arguments

| Name | Type | Required | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `input` | [RequestKernelBlockTransferInput](/types/RequestKernelBlockTransferInput/) `RequestKernelBlockTransferInput!` | yes | No further notes. |

## Returns

[KernelBlock](/types/KernelBlock/) `[KernelBlock!]!` — One kernel block — a settled purchase's STOCK lifecycle. Blocks consume OLDEST-FIRST with at most ONE open at a time; a block EARMARKED for transfer freezes until the decision (it cannot be consumed — freezing most of your stock can starve the wallet, the disclosed strictness); an OPENED block can never transfer (the purity law); a transferred block records where it went.
