# ExistentialDeposit (/docs/errors/chain/ExistentialDeposit)

The amount is too small to create the destination account: its resulting balance would sit below the existential deposit. Compare the transfer value plus the destination's current free balance against the `ExistentialDeposit` constant.

Declared by the `Balances` pallet; it classifies to the semantic code [`insufficient_balance`](/docs/errors/insufficient-balance).

## Remediation [#remediation]

Fund the signing account or reduce the amount; check with `btcli wallet balance`

The same explanation is available in the terminal: `btcli explain ExistentialDeposit`.
