Get your first transaction into BigchainDB

A transaction can contain a digital asset along with a message. Type something to be sent along the asset.

 

Beep, boop, waiting for your input...
                    
{
  "asset": {
    "data": {
      "msg": "Blockchain all the things!"
    }
  },
  "id": "04c00267af82c161b4bf2ad4a47d1ddbfeb47eef1a14b8d51",
  ...

Nicely done! You have just created an asset, sent it along in a signed transaction and retrieved the result of that transaction. Phew.

Check out your transaction on IPDB

Shenanigans! Something's off. Would you mind trying again?
