Post a Data Block

You can post a data block by adding hex encoded data as options when you create a block.

The following code example will:

  1. Create a Client which will connect to the Shimmer Testnet.
  2. Create the options with the hex encoded data.
  3. Create a SecretManager from a mnemonic.
  4. Create and post the block with the data from step 2.
  5. Generate a public address.
