What is this program?
This is a very simple example of how to send a transaction from account A to B. If you change 'ftm' to a different RPC you can use this script on on other chains too like Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain.
Why did you use the Fantom network?
I used the Fantom testnet because:
- The Fantom Testnet is really fast
- It is easy to get FTM from the faucet
- You can get FTM from the faucet every 5 minutes
- The faucet is almost never down (unlike Binance Smart Chain)

Faucet: https://faucet.fantom.network/ Explorer: https://testnet.ftmscan.com/
Be aware that you can also use this script with Ganache CLI, I just preferred using a "real" testnet.
Requirements:
- Python
- Web3 (install by running "pip3 install web3"
Updates:
More examples of web3 scripts will be shared in this repository due time.
Warning:
Do not accidentally share your private key by sending your script to other people without removing it from the code!
