Bitcoin

Sure, here's a basic guide on how to interact with the Bitcoin blockchain using the Moon SDK in Markdown format.

Initialization

Firstly, you need to import the necessary modules and initialize the MoonSDK:

import { MoonSDK } from '@moonup/moon-api';

const moonSDK = new MoonSDK({
  apiKey: 'your-api-key',
});

Replace 'your-api-key' with your actual API key.

List Bitcoin Accounts

To list Bitcoin accounts:

async function listBitcoinAccounts() {
  try {
    const response = await moonSDK.getBitcoinSDK().listBitcoinAccounts();
    console.log(response.data);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
}

listBitcoinAccounts();

Create a Bitcoin Account

To create a new Bitcoin account:

async function createBitcoinAccount() {
  try {
    const response = await moonSDK.getBitcoinSDK().createBitcoinAccount({
      network: 'testnet', // or 'mainnet'
    });
    console.log(response.data);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
}

createBitcoinAccount();

The createBitcoinAccount function will return an object containing the address and private key of the newly created account.

Sign a Bitcoin Transaction

To sign a Bitcoin transaction:

async function signBitcoinTransaction(accountName, toAddress, amount) {
  try {
    const response = await moonSDK.getBitcoinSDK().signBitcoinTransaction(accountName, {
      network: 'testnet', // or 'mainnet'
      to: toAddress,
      value: amount,
    });
    console.log(response.data);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
}

signBitcoinTransaction('your-account-name', 'recipient-address', 0.001);

Replace 'your-account-name', 'recipient-address', and 0.001 with the appropriate values. The signBitcoinTransaction function will return an object containing the signed transaction (signedTx) and the transaction hash (transaction_hash).

Extra Notes

  • Always remember to handle errors properly in your production code.

  • This guide assumes that you're running in a Node.js environment. If you're running in a browser, you'll need to use a library like bitcoinjs-lib to sign transactions, as the browser doesn't have access to the file system to store private keys.

  • This guide uses the testnet network for demonstration purposes. When you're ready to use the mainnet, make sure to change the network parameter to 'mainnet'.
