-On MultiversX it is impossible to send both EGLD and any ESDT token at the same time.
+On MultiversX it is possible to send one or more tokens with any transaction. This includes EGLD, and it is also possible (though impractical) to send several payments of the same token at once.
+:::

-For this reason you will see no syntax for transferring both, neither when sending, nor receiving.
+:::note note
+Historically, it used to be impossible to send EGLD and ESDT at the same time, this is why some of the legacy APIs have this restriction. This restriction no longer applies since the [Spica release](https://multiversx.com/release/release-spica-patch-4-v1-8-12).

+## Payment Types
+
+The framework provides a unified approach to handling payments using the `Payment` type that treats EGLD and ESDT tokens uniformly. EGLD is represented as `EGLD-000000` token identifier, making all payment handling consistent.
+
+**`Payment`** - The primary payment type that combines:
+- `token_identifier`: `TokenId` - unified token identifier (EGLD serialized as "EGLD-000000")
+- `token_nonce`: `u64` - token nonce for NFTs/SFTs, which is zero for all fungible tokens (incl. EGLD)
+- `amount`: `NonZeroBigUint` - guaranteed non-zero amount
+
+**`PaymentVec`** - A managed vector of `Payment` objects, representing multiple payments in a single transaction.
+
+[comment]: # (mx-context-auto)
+
+## Call Value Methods
+
Additional restrictions on the incoming tokens can be imposed in the body of the endpoint, by calling the call value API. Most of these functions retrieve data about the received payment, while also stopping execution if the payment is not of the expected type.
+
+[comment]: # (mx-context-auto)
+
+### `all()` - Complete Payment Collection
+
+`self.call_value().all()` retrieves all payments sent with the transaction as a `PaymentVec`. It handles all tokens uniformly, including EGLD (represented as "EGLD-000000"). Never stops execution.
+
+```rust
+#[payable]
+#[endpoint]
+pub fn process_all_payments(&self) {
+ let payments = self.call_value().all();
+ for payment in payments.iter() {
+ // Handle each payment uniformly
+ self.process_payment(&payment.token_identifier, payment.token_nonce, &payment.amount);
+ }
+}
+```
+
+[comment]: # (mx-context-auto)
+
+### `single()` - Strict Single Payment
+
+`self.call_value().single()` expects exactly one payment and returns it. Will halt execution if zero or multiple payments are received. Returns a `Payment` object.
+
+```rust
+#[payable]
+#[endpoint]
+pub fn deposit(&self) {
+ let payment = self.call_value().single();
+ // Guaranteed to be exactly one payment
+ let token_id = &payment.token_identifier;
+ let amount = payment.amount;
+
+ self.deposits(&self.blockchain().get_caller()).set(&amount);
+}
+```
+
+[comment]: # (mx-context-auto)
+
+### `single_optional()` - Flexible Single Payment
+
+`self.call_value().single_optional()` accepts either zero or one payment. Returns `Option>` for graceful handling. Will halt execution if multiple payments are received.
+
+```rust
+#[payable]
+#[endpoint]
+pub fn execute_with_optional_fee(&self) {
+ match self.call_value().single_optional() {
+ Some(payment) => {
+ // Process the payment as fee
+ self.execute_premium_service(payment);
+ },
+ None => {
+ // Handle no payment scenario
+ self.execute_basic_service();
+ }
+ }
+}
+```
+
+[comment]: # (mx-context-auto)
+
+### `array()` - Fixed-Size Payment Array
+
+`self.call_value().array()` expects exactly N payments and returns them as a fixed-size array. Will halt execution if the number of payments doesn't match exactly.
+
+```rust
+#[payable]
+#[endpoint]
+pub fn swap(&self) {
+ // Expect exactly 2 payments for the swap
+ let [input_payment, fee_payment] = self.call_value().array();
+
+ require!(
+ input_payment.token_identifier != fee_payment.token_identifier,
+ "Input and fee must be different tokens"
+ );

+## Legacy Call Value Methods
+
+The following methods are available for backwards compatibility but may be deprecated in future versions:
+
- `self.call_value().egld_value()` retrieves the EGLD value transferred, or zero. Never stops execution.
- `self.call_value().all_esdt_transfers()` retrieves all the ESDT transfers received, or an empty list. Never stops execution.
- `self.call_value().multi_esdt()` is ideal when we know exactly how many ESDT transfers we expect. It returns an array of `EsdtTokenPayment`. It knows exactly how many transfers to expect based on the return type (it is polymorphic in the length of the array). Will fail execution if the number of ESDT transfers does not match.
