## 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 `mint` request using the Volary SDK:

```jsx
// import the Nest SDK
const { ERC721 } = require('@nest25/evm-chains-lib');

// create a new instance of the ERC721 class
const erc721 = new ERC721();

// define the main function
const main = async () => {
    // call the mint function
    const receipt = await erc721.mint(
        'klay',
        '0x3c40d011838f0ecd5b601104eeb5e27172c92231',
        '0x13CC66D6611bb754647Bf2977881eA0e35A48FB4',
        '100',
        'your-private-key',
    );

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

### Response

```jsx
 {
  receipt: {
    type: 2,
    chainId: 1001,
    nonce: 237,
    maxPriorityFeePerGas: BigNumber { _hex: '0x3b9aca00', _isBigNumber: true },
    maxFeePerGas: BigNumber { _hex: '0x0bdfd63e00', _isBigNumber: true },
    gasPrice: null,
    gasLimit: BigNumber { _hex: '0xa822', _isBigNumber: true },
    to: '0x3c40d011838F0EcD5B601104EEb5E27172C92231',
    value: BigNumber { _hex: '0x00', _isBigNumber: true },
    data: '0x40c10f1900000000000000000000000013cc66d6611bb754647bf2977881ea0e35a48fb40000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000064',
    accessList: [],
    hash: '0xadbd2e3e340fa378b87b8d40225c3e9e17daf0f3bb86e2316398549504759562',

    from: '0xE668C72D4C67236A712Ce69A91C74358586f31ed',
    wait: [Function (anonymous)]
  }
}
```

## 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.
