## 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:

```sh
npm install @nest25/wallet-lib
OR
yarn add @nest25/wallet-lib
```

### Request

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

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```javascript
// import Nest SDK
import { Wallet } from 'nest25/wallet-lib';

// Create a new instance of the Wallet class
const wallet = new Wallet();

const testMnemonic = 'divorce poverty spend fire symbol market good skull rebel surge giggle album';
// receiver address
const receiver = '0xd040591F093eacFAB8734350aac24703a0081f29';

const main = async () => {
  // transfer 10000 yactoNEAR from the test mnemonic to the receiver address
  const response = await wallet.transfer('btc',testMnemonic,receiver,'10000');
  // print the response
  console.log(response);
};

main();
```

{% endcode %}

### Response

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```sh
 {
        code: 1,
        result: '5oWsXKXkTYxWUeBtyhaC6xxx7ZNRXW5qq1PJpbas1y4zQqgD9mxPGBF2zCeUkVHornFDo63hriUdVGuPp49u5Tvy'
      }
```

{% endcode %}

## Use Cases

* **Transfer Bitcoin:** The `transfer` function can be used to transfer a specific amount of Bitcoin from one address to another. It requires the private key of the sender's address, the amount to be transferred, the recipient's address, the desired environment (e.g., testnet or mainnet), the sender's address, and the ECC object for cryptographic operations.
* **Error Handling:** The function handles potential errors during the transfer process. If any step fails, an error object with a code and description is returned, indicating the cause of the failure.
