Send Solana
Send Solana (Lamports) to a given address. Lamports are the native currency of the Solana blockchain (1 SOL = 1,000,000,000 lamports).
import { Connection, Keypair, LAMPORTS_PER_SOL, SystemProgram, Transaction, sendAndConfirmTransaction } from "@solana/web3.js";

})

CAVYAR AI is in its earliest stages of development and the quality of generated descriptions will improve massively over time. At this stage, there is a risk of false information being generated.
This code snippet transfers 0.1 SOL from a randomly generated account to another randomly generated account on the Solana blockchain.
Explanation:
- The
Connectionclass is imported from@solana/web3.jsto establish a connection to the Solana blockchain. In this case, it connects to the mainnet-beta network. - The
Keypairclass is imported from@solana/web3.jsto generate a random keypair. ThefromKeypairvariable holds the randomly generated keypair, which will be used as the sender's account. - Another random keypair is generated using
Keypair.generate().publicKey, and the resulting public key is stored in thetoPubkeyvariable. This will be the recipient's account. - The
Transactionclass is imported from@solana/web3.jsto create a new transaction object. - The
SystemProgram.transfer()function is called to create a transfer instruction within the transaction. It specifies the sender's public key (fromPubkey), the recipient's public key (toPubkey), and the amount of lamports (the smallest unit of SOL) to transfer (lamports). - The
LAMPORTS_PER_SOLconstant is imported from@solana/web3.jsand represents the number of lamports in one SOL. In this case, it is multiplied by 0.1 to transfer 0.1 SOL. - The transfer instruction is added to the transaction using the
add()method. - The
sendAndConfirmTransaction()function is called to send the transaction to the Solana blockchain for processing. It takes the connection object, the transaction object, and an array of signers (in this case, only thefromKeypairsigner) as arguments. - The
awaitkeyword is used to wait for the transaction to be confirmed on the blockchain before proceeding.
