const bchClient = new Client({ network: 'mainnet' })
// Set phrase
bchClient.setPhrase('phrase here')
// Get address
const address = bchClient.getAddress()
// Get balance
const balance = await bchClient.getBalance()
// Transfer with feeRate
const txid = await bchClient.transfer({ asset: AssetBCH, recipient: 'recipient address here', amount: baseAmount(100, BCH_DECIMAL), feeRate: 1 })
// Transfer with default feeRate (default is `fast`)
const txid = await bchClient.transfer({ asset: AssetBCH, recipient: 'recipient address here', amount: baseAmount(100, BCH_DECIMAL) })
