# HD Wallets

A hierarchical deterministic wallet is a digital wallet commonly used to store the keys for holders of cryptocurrencies.

To use an hd wallet with expand.network [<mark style="color:blue;">**SDK**</mark>](https://github.com/expand-network/sdk-nodejs.git), follow these steps:-

### **Step 1:** Installation

&#x20;User needs to install the expand.network SDK using the following command:&#x20;

```git
npm i expand-network
```

### **Step 2: Wallet Initialisation**

```javascript
const { Wallet, prepareTransaction } = require('expand-network');
const wallet  = new Wallet({ privateKey:'SENDER_PRIVATE_KEY', xApiKey:xApiKey});
```

### **Step 3: Prepare Transaction**

```javascript
const chainId = '1';        // Replace with other chainId to toggle between chains
const preparedTx = {
        "from": "SENDER_WALLET_ADDRESS",
        "value": "10000",
        "to": "RECEIVER_WALLET_ADDRESS",
        "chainId": "1",
        "gas": "25000",
        "xApiKey": "YOUR_API_KEY"  
    };
```

### **Step 4: Sign Transaction**

```javascript
const signedTx = await wallet.signTransaction(preparedTx);
signedTx.chainId = '1';
console.log(signedTx);
```

### **Step 5: Send Transaction**

```javascript
const tx = await wallet.sendTransaction(signedTx);
console.log(tx.data);
```

### Sample code to approve a fungible token using any HD wallet:

```javascript
const { Wallet, prepareTransaction } = require('expand-network');
const xApiKey = 'YOUR_API_KEY';    //Replace this with your API key
async function main() {
    const chainId = '1';
    const preparedTx = await prepareTransaction('https://api.expand.network/fungibletoken/approve', {
        "from": "OWNER_WALLET_ADDRESS",
        "value": "10000",
        "to": "SPENDER_WALLET_ADDRESS",
        "chainId": "1",
        "gas": "25000",
        "xApiKey": xApiKey  
    };
    const wallet  = new Wallet({ privateKey:'SENDER_PRIVATE_KEY', xApiKey:xApiKey});
    const signedTx = await wallet.signTransaction(preparedTx);
    signedTx.chainId = '1';
    console.log(signedTx);
    const tx = await wallet.sendTransaction(signedTx);
    console.log(tx.data);
}
main();
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.expand.network/integrations/supported-wallets/hd-wallets.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
