kinetic-node-starter

This starter shows how to implement a simple API that allows you to send KIN to a Solana account using Kinetic.

Read the details in .env.example about how to create an Payment Account.

Make sure to protect your endpoints for malicious users, so they don't drain your Payment Account.

It also implements the webhook listener for the Kinetic API.

Requirements

• Basic Node and TypeScript knowledge
• Node 16+
• Yarn 1.22.x
