## Example Request and Response

### Prerequisites

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

You can install Volary SDK using either **`npm`** or **`yarn`**. Use the following commands to install Volary SDK:

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

### Request

Here is an example of how to make a `deployContract` request using the Volary SDK:

```jsx
// import the Nest SDK
const { ERC1155 } = require('@nest25/evm-chains-lib');

// create a new instance of the ERC1155 class
const erc1155 = new ERC1155();

// define the main function
const main = async () => {
    // deploy the contract
    const contract = await erc1155.deployContract(
        'klay',
        'your-private-key',
        'baseUri',
    );

    // print the contract address and transaction hash
    console.log(`Contract deployed at ${contract.address}. Transaction hash: ${contract.deployTransaction.hash}`);
};
// call the main function
main();
```

### Response

```jsx
Contract deployed at 0xe6811ffc22D567A0267B5260211C34074e091022. Transaction hash: 0x99916877816ce81f0091a5107282b077d9f637824bf9291c355762bee4b13713
```

## Use Cases

* **Contract deployment:** The primary use case for the **`deployContract`** function is to deploy a new smart contract on a specified blockchain network, using the provided **`erc11155Abi`** and **`erc11155ByteCode`** to generate the contract code.
* **Token issuance:** The deployed contract can be used to issue new tokens on the specified blockchain network, which can be used for various purposes such as rewards, governance, or utility tokens.
