  wallet.address,
  "polygon"
);

const sendAmount = "0.1";
const estimatedGas = 0.001; // Approximate gas cost

if (parseFloat(balance) < parseFloat(sendAmount) + estimatedGas) {
  throw new Error("Insufficient balance");
}

await align.blockchain.wallets.sendNativeToken(
  wallet,
  to,
  sendAmount,
  "polygon"
);
```

<Warning>
  Ensure the wallet has sufficient balance for both the transfer amount and gas
  fees.
