import { BlockfrostProvider, MeshTxBuilder } from "@meshsdk/core";
// 1. Set up your provider
const provider = new BlockfrostProvider("<Your-API-Key>");
// 2. Create a transaction builder
const meshTxBuilder = new MeshTxBuilder({
fetcher: provider,
submitter: provider,
});
// 3. Initialize any contract with the same config
const contract = new MeshContractName({
mesh: meshTxBuilder,
fetcher: provider,
