Specifying token
To use a different token, link your private key and supply the token name when creating a new Irys object. The accepted values for token are listed in the third column of the tables above.
Example:
const getIrys = async () => {
const url = "https://devnet.irys.xyz";
// Devnet RPC URLs change often, use a recent one from https://chainlist.org/chain/80001
const providerUrl = "";
const token = "matic";
const irys = new Irys({
url, // URL of the node you want to connect to
token, // Token used for payment
key: process.env.PRIVATE_KEY, // ETH or SOL private key
config: { providerUrl }, // Optional provider URL, only required when using Devnet
});
return irys;
};
