Build on Hive with WAX A high-performance SDK that provides Hive blockchain protocol features to Python and TypeScript applications. Create, sign, and broadcast transactions with ease.
import createHiveChain from ’@hiveio/wax’
// Initialize WAX
const chain = await createHiveChain ()
// Build transaction
chain. pushOperation (op)
Quick Start Get started with WAX in your preferred language
Install the package
Choose your platform and install WAX using your package manager.
Initialize WAX
Create a WAX instance for offline operations or connect to the Hive network. import { createWaxFoundation , createHiveChain } from '@hiveio/wax' ; // For offline operations (transaction building, signing) const wax = await createWaxFoundation (); // For online operations (API calls, broadcasting) const chain = await createHiveChain ();
from wax import create_wax_foundation, create_hive_chain # For offline operations (transaction building, signing) wax = create_wax_foundation() # For online operations (API calls, broadcasting) chain = create_hive_chain()
Build and sign a transaction
Create a transaction, add operations, and sign it with your preferred signing provider. // Create a transaction const tx = await wax . createTransaction (); // Add operations tx . pushOperation ({ vote: { voter: "alice" , author: "bob" , permlink: "example-post" , weight: 10000 } }); // Sign and broadcast await tx . sign ( wallet , publicKey ); await chain . broadcast ( tx . transaction );
# Create a transaction tx = wax.create_transaction() # Add operations tx.push_operation({ "vote" : { "voter" : "alice" , "author" : "bob" , "permlink" : "example-post" , "weight" : 10000 } }) # Sign and broadcast await tx.sign(wallet, public_key) await chain.broadcast(tx.transaction)
