Example: transfer_trx_memo
To run this example:
- Clone the examples repository:
git clone https://github.com/throgxyz/examples.git - Run:
cargo run -p examples-transfers --example transfer_trx_memo
//! Transfer TRX with an on-chain memo (`raw.data`).
//!
//! TRON transactions carry an optional `data` field (up to 500 bytes) in the
//! raw transaction body. It is commonly used as a human-readable reference,
//! e.g. an exchange deposit identifier. The field does not affect execution.
//!
//! Required env:
//! TRON_PRIVATE_KEY — hex private key
//!
//! Optional env:
//! TRON_API_KEY — TronGrid API key
//! TRON_TO — recipient (defaults to a well-known Nile address)
//! TRON_AMOUNT_SUN — amount in sun (default: 1 sun)
//! TRON_MEMO — memo string (default: "tronz example transfer")
//!
//! ```bash
//! TRON_PRIVATE_KEY=<key> cargo run -p examples-transfers --example transfer_trx_memo
//! ```
