to-address
Recipient BSV address (starts with 1 or 3)

Dependencies

  • @bsv/sdk
    - BSV SDK for key/transaction operations
  • WhatsOnChain API - UTXO fetching and broadcast

Transaction Flow

  1. Parse and validate WIF private key
  2. Validate recipient address format
  3. Derive sender address from private key
  4. Fetch UTXOs from WhatsOnChain
  5. Build transaction with P2PKH inputs/outputs
  6. Calculate fee (1 sat/byte)
  7. Sign transaction
  8. Broadcast via WhatsOnChain API

Error Handling

  • Invalid WIF: Clear error with SDK message
  • Invalid address: Format validation error
  • Insufficient funds: Shows balance vs required amount
  • Network errors: Displays raw tx hex for manual broadcast

Network

Uses BSV mainnet via WhatsOnChain API:
  • UTXOs: 
    GET /v1/bsv/main/address/{address}/unspent
  • Broadcast: 
    POST /v1/bsv/main/tx/raw
