Minimal example
Note
You will need to set up the dev environment required to run this example.
For instructions, check out our docs here.
If you're sending an extrinsic (i.e conducting a transaction) you will need to replace the demo seed phrase with your own seed phrase.
The rest of the code should work as is.
Warning
The minimum amount of AVAIL required to join a nomination pool is 100 AVAIL.
Enter the poolId carefully.
Inside your-file-name.ts, add the following code:
