# Creating routes

To create a new route, initiate a micro-transfer to @xfer using the following structured memo:

`{"cmd":"ADD", "route":"[name]","target":"[recipient]","memo":"[memo]"}`

If a route with the same name for the same asset already exists, @xfer will send you back en (encrypted) error message.

*Examples:*

* `{"cmd":"ADD","route":"binance","target":"deepcryto8","memo":"123456789"}`\
  \&#xNAN;*creates a route named "binance" to send assets to the account @deepcrypto8 with the memo "123456789"*
* `{"cmd":"ADD","route":"arcange","target":"arcange" }`\
  \&#xNAN;*creates a route named "back" to send assets to the account @arcange without memo*
* `{"cmd":"ADD","route":"secret","target":"arcange", "#an encrypted memo" }`\
  \&#xNAN;*creates a route named "secret" to send assets to the account @arcange with a memo that will be encrypted*

Here is a screenshot of such a transfer made using peakd.com. You can of course use any other front-end or wallet app.

*1. The recipient is @xfer*\
*2. we send a small amount*\
*3. we send HIVE -> this will create a "HIVE route"*\
*4. the command is put in the memo. As the command is prefixed with `#`, it will be encrypted when sent.*<br>
