Quickstart

Issue your first asset on the Stellar network in one, single transaction!

JavaScript

const {
  Keypair,
  Horizon,
  TransactionBuilder,
  Networks,
  Operation,
  Asset,
  BASE_FEE,
} = require("@stellar/stellar-sdk");

// Don't forget to fund these accounts, somehow. Have you met Friendbot?
// https://developers.stellar.org/docs/tutorials/create-account#create-account
const issuerKeypair = Keypair.random();
const destinationKeypair = Keypair.random();

const server = new Horizon.Server("https://horizon-testnet.stellar.org");
const account = await server.loadAccount(issuerKeypair.publicKey());
const abcAsset = new Asset("ABC", issuerKeypair.publicKey());

const transaction = new TransactionBuilder(account, {
  fee: BASE_FEE,
  networkPassphrase: Networks.TESTNET,
})
  .addOperation(
    Operation.changeTrust({
      asset: abcAsset,
      source: destinationKeypair,
    }),
  )
  .addOperation(
    Operation.payment({
      destination: destinationKeypair.publicKey(),
      asset: abcAsset,
      amount: "100",
    }),
  )
  .setTimeout(30)
  .build();

transaction.sign(issuerKeypair, destinationKeypair);
const res = await server.submitTransaction(transaction);
console.log(`Transaction response: ${res}`);

Python
