How to use it

Below is an example of how to use the validateAddress method with the Tatum SDK:

// yarn add @tatumio/tatum

import { TatumSDK, Tron, Network } from '@tatumio/tatum'

// Initialize the SDK for the TRON network
const tatum = await TatumSDK.init<Tron>({network: Network.TRON})

// Call validateAddress RPC method
const res = await tatum.rpc.validateAddress('TG3XXyExBkPp9nzdajDZsozEu4BkaSJozs', {
  visible: true,
})

await tatum.destroy() // Destroy Tatum SDK - needed for stopping background jobs

Overview

The validateAddress method is used to validate the format of a given TRON blockchain address. It verifies if the address is in the correct format, i.e., base58checksum, hexString, or base64 format, and returns a result indicating whether the format is correct or not, along with a message specifying the address format type or an error message.
