5.2 Generating Transactions

To generate a transaction, you'll use the sov-cli tool. Let's go through the process of creating a transfer transaction:

1. Create a JSON file named transfer.json with the following content:

{
  "transfer": {
    "to": "sov1zgfpyysjzgfpyysjzgfpyysjzgfpyysjzgfpyysjzgfpyysjzgfqve8h6h",
    "coins": {
      "amount": 200,
      "token_id": "token_1rwrh8gn2py0dl4vv65twgctmlwck6esm2as9dftumcw89kqqn3nqrduss6"
    }
  }
}

This JSON represents a transfer of 200 tokens to the specified address.

1. Use sov-cli to import the transaction:

./target/debug/sov-cli transactions import from-file bank --max-fee 100000000 --path ./transfer.json

This command imports the transaction into the local transaction pool. The --max-fee parameter sets the maximum gas fee you're willing to pay for this transaction.
