Example Request and Response

Prerequisites

Before making requests with NEST® SDK, you must have it installed.

You can install NEST® SDK using either npm or yarn. Use the following commands to install NEST® SDK:

npm install @nest25/evm-chains-lib
OR
yarn add @nest25/evm-chains-lib

Request

Here is an example of how to make a mint request using the NEST® SDK:

// import the Nest SDK
const { ERC20 } = require('@nest25/evm-chains-lib');

// create a new instance of the ERC20 class
const erc20 = new ERC20();

// define the main function
const main = async () => {
    // call the mint function
    const receipt = await erc20.mint(
        'klay',
        '0x3c40d011838f0ecd5b601104eeb5e27172c92231',
        '0x13CC66D6611bb754647Bf2977881eA0e35A48FB4',
        '100',
        'your-private-key',
    );

    // print the receipt
    console.log({ receipt });
};
// call the main function
main();

Use Cases

• Bulk token distribution: The primary use case for the mint function is to distribute multiple ERC20 tokens to a specified receiver address in bulk.

• Automated token distribution: The mint function can be integrated into automated workflows for token distribution, allowing developers to automatically distribute tokens as part of their continuous integration and deployment process.
