The error you’re encountering, `error[E0277]: the ? operator can only be used in an async function that returns Result or Option (or another type that implements FromResidual)`, is due to a misuse of the `?` operator in Rust. The `?` operator in Rust is a convenient shorthand for error handling. It is used to either unwrap the value inside an `Ok` variant of a `Result`, or return the error (`Err` variant) from the current function. This operator can only be used in functions that return a `Result`, `Option`, or any other type that implements the `std::ops::Try` trait (through the `FromResidual` trait in Rust 2021 edition and onwards). In your case, the function `purchase` is an `async` function that implicitly returns `()`, the unit type, because there’s no explicit return type specified. Since `()` does not implement the `FromResidual` trait for the `Result` or `Option` types, you cannot use the `?` operator within this function. To fix this error, you have a couple of options: 1. **Change the Return Type of the Function to `Result` or `Option`:** If your function is intended to perform operations that might fail, you should change its return type to `Result` (where `T` is the success type and `E` is the error type) or `Option` (if the function might not return a value). For example, if the function should return nothing on success but might fail with a string error, you could change the signature to: 2. **Handle the Error Without the `?` Operator:** If changing the function’s return type is not desirable, you will need to handle the error without using the `?` operator. This typically involves using pattern matching or methods like `match` or `if let`. For example: This way, you explicitly handle both the success and error cases without relying on the `?` operator, thus avoiding the need for the function to return a `Result` or `Option`. ---

No, you can use an approval as well. The ICP ledger supports the ICRC-2 standard, you can read more [here](https://internetcomputer.org/docs/current/developer-docs/defi/icrc-1/using-icrc1-ledger/#icrc-2-endpoints) and [here](https://github.com/dfinity/ICRC-1/tree/main/standards/ICRC-2). ---

> [@oleksiivinogradov](#): > > ```auto > to: canister_account, > > ``` with this, you are transferring to the same account you are transferring from, which doesn’t make sense. Note that `Account` and `AccountIdentifier` are two **different** concepts that you can’t mix up. You can read more about the differences [here](https://internetcomputer.org/docs/current/developer-docs/defi/icp-tokens/overview). In short, `AccountIdentifiers` are used by the ICP ledger standard, `Accounts` are used by the ICRC1 standard. If you want to transfer funds from the canisters account to the owners account, you have to use `to: AccountIdentifier::new(&to_principal, &DEFAULT_SUBACCOUNT)` in `ic_ledger_types::TransferArgs`. Note that you are trying to transfer funds **from the canister** , not from **bzyds-lsngb-2hsp6-cctoq-2mttx-mw6dj-glyta-nl4p2-yenlc-udrvc-yqe**. This is why you transfer fails, because if you would check the **canisters** balance with `icrc1_balance_of(record {owner=principal “be2us-64aaa-aaaaa-qaabq-cai”; subaccount=null})` it would be `0`. So you have to transfer funds from `bzyds-lsngb-2hsp6-cctoq-2mttx-mw6dj-glyta-nl4p2-yenlc-udrvc-yqe` to `be2us-64aaa-aaaaa-qaabq-cai` first to send funds to the canister, then you can call `transfer` to send them from the canister. > [@oleksiivinogradov](#): > > Alexs-MBP:icrc7-main alex$ dfx canister call icp\_ledger\_canister account\_balance ‘(record { account = ‘$(python3 -c ‘print(“vec{” + “;”.join([str(b) for b in bytes.fromhex(“bzyds-lsngb-2hsp6-cctoq-2mttx-mw6dj-glyta-nl4p2-yenlc-udrvc-yqe”)]) + “}”)’)’})’ The python script here is not intended to be used with principals, but with `AccountIdentifiers`. You can get your current identies `AccountIdentifier` using `dfx ledger account-id` like in this [step](https://github.com/dfinity/examples/tree/fix/tokens_transfer/rust/tokens_transfer#step-8-verify-that-the-ledger-canister-is-healthy-and-working-as-expected-by-using-the-command). ---
