This operation uses a relayer account that the sender authorizes to submit the transfer transaction. You can learn more about relayers HERE.

important

You can get the AVN_GATEWAY_URL and Relayer here.

const AVN_API = require("avn-api");
const AVN_GATEWAY_URL = "<endpoint_url>";
const API = new AVN_API(AVN_GATEWAY_URL);

//This can be an address or public key.
const RECIPIENT_ADDRESS = "5DA...gxV";
//Amount of AVT in 18 decimals
var amountToUnstake = "500000000000000000";

async function main() {
await api.init();

let result = await api.send.unstake(amountToUnstake);
// Returns a request id
console.log(result)
}

(async () => {
await main();
})();

You have now successfully submitted a transaction to the AVN.



tip

You can query the state of your transaction here using the returned request id.
