## Example Request and Response

### Prerequisites

Before making requests with NO.AI SDK, you must have it installed.

You can install NO.AI SDK using either **`npm`** or **`yarn`**. Use the following commands to install NO.AI 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 NO.AI SDK:

```jsx
// import the Nest SDK
const { ERC20 } = require('@nest25/evm-chains-lib');

// create a new instance of the ERC20 class
const erc20 = new ERC20();

// define the main function
const main = async () => {
    // call the mint function
    const receipt = await erc20.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 },

}
```

## 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.
