Litecoin

Sure, here's a basic guide on how to interact with the Litecoin 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 Litecoin Accounts

To list Litecoin accounts:

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

listLitecoinAccounts();

Create a Litecoin Account

To create a new Litecoin account:

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

createLitecoinAccount();

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

Sign a Litecoin Transaction

To sign a Litecoin transaction:

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

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

Replace 'your-account-name', 'recipient-address', and 0.001 with the appropriate values. The signLitecoinTransaction 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 bitcoincashjs-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'.
