MultiversX SDK-JS Core Operations

This skill covers the fundamental building blocks of the @multiversx/sdk-core v15 library.

Entrypoints

Network-specific clients that simplify common operations:

import { DevnetEntrypoint } from "@multiversx/sdk-core";

// Default API
const entrypoint = new DevnetEntrypoint();

// Custom API
const entrypoint = new DevnetEntrypoint({ url: "https://custom-api.com" });

// Proxy mode (gateway)
const entrypoint = new DevnetEntrypoint({ 
    url: "https://devnet-gateway.multiversx.com", 
    kind: "proxy" 
});

Entrypoint Methods

Network Providers

Lower-level network access:

const provider = entrypoint.createNetworkProvider();

// Or manual instantiation
import { ApiNetworkProvider } from "@multiversx/sdk-core";

const api = new ApiNetworkProvider("https://devnet-api.multiversx.com", {
    clientName: "my-app",
    requestsOptions: { timeout: 10000 }
});

Provider Methods

Transaction Lifecycle

// 1. Create account and sync nonce
const account = await Account.newFromPem("wallet.pem");
account.nonce = await entrypoint.recallAccountNonce(account.address);

// 2. Create transaction (via controller)
const controller = entrypoint.createTransfersController();
const tx = await controller.createTransactionForTransfer(
    account, 
    account.getNonceThenIncrement(),
    { receiver, nativeAmount: 1000000000000000000n }
);

// 3. Send
const txHash = await entrypoint.sendTransaction(tx);

// 4. Wait for completion
const result = await entrypoint.awaitCompletedTransaction(txHash);
console.log("Status:", result.status);

Best Practices

1. Always sync nonce before creating transactions
2. Use awaitCompletedTransaction for critical operations
3. Handle errors - network calls can fail
4. Use appropriate timeouts for long operations
5. Batch transactions when possible with sendTransactions()
