Make a connection#
Users can interact with the blockchain by using the following modes:
Querying data
Broadcasting a transaction
Connect to a chain#
To perform these actions, connect to the blockchain by using an LCDClient object, which represents a connection to a node running the light client daemon (LCD). The LCD serves as a RESTful API over HTTP. Terra.js abstracts away the details of making raw API calls and provide an interface with which you can work.
import { LCDClient } from '@terra-money/terra.js';
const terra = new LCDClient({
URL: 'https://lcd.terra.dev',
chainID: 'columbus-5'
});
