Batch Minting Tokens

The batchMint method enables developers to mint multiple tokens in a single operation, simplifying the process of issuing tokens on the blockchain. This functionality is essential for creating tokens in bulk, whether for initial distribution, rewards, or other purposes.

---

Overview of the batchMint Method

Minting tokens refers to the process of creating new tokens and adding them to the circulation within the blockchain network. The batchMint method streamlines this process by allowing the creation of multiple tokens at once, enhancing efficiency and scalability.

Prerequisites

• Installed the edeXa-sdk in your project.
• An authentication token obtained through the SDK's authentication method. This token is necessary to authorize your requests.

Sample Code Snippet

Here is a JavaScript code snippet demonstrating the use of the batchMint method:

import { ERC1155, Network } from 'edeXa-sdk';

async function batchMintToken() {
  // Define network settings and authorization
  const settings = {
    network: Network.SANDBOX, // Use Network.MAINNET for production environments
  };

  const erc1155 = new ERC1155({
    ...settings,
    authorization: `Bearer ${token}`, // Replace `${token}` with your actual authorization token
  });

  // Define the data for the batch mint operation
  const dataToBatchMintToken = {
    value: [100, 200], // Array of amounts for each token to be minted
    chaincode: 'optionalChaincodeName', // Optional: specific chaincode name
    channel: 'optionalChannelName', // Optional: specific blockchain channel
  };

  try {
    // Execute the batch mint operation
    const batchMintTokenResponse = await erc1155.batchMint(
      dataToBatchMintToken
    );
    // Handle success
  } catch (error) {
    // Handle error
  }
}
