# xchain-bitcoincash

The section offers a detailed insight into the underlying mechanisms and operational workflow of the xchain-Bitcoincash blockchain library. 

It provides developers with a comprehensive understanding of how they can effectively utilize the library's features and functionalities to interact with the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) blockchain network.

### Third-Party Library <a href="#third-party-library" id="third-party-library"></a>

#### Client URL <a href="#client-url" id="client-url"></a>

* Mainnet: `https://www.blockchain.com/bch`
* Testnet: `https://www.blockchain.com/bch-testnet`

#### Explorer URL <a href="#explorer-url" id="explorer-url"></a>

* Mainnet: [`https://www.blockchain.com/explorer?view=bch`](https://www.blockchain.com/)
* Testnet: [`https://www.blockchain.com/explorer?view=bch-testnet`](https://www.blockchain.com/)

### Address Generation <a href="#address-generation" id="address-generation"></a>

By default, the index is 0. - `m/44'/145'/0'/0/` for mainnet, `m/44'/1'/0'/0/` for testnet

### Blockchain-Specific Functions <a href="#blockchain-specific-functions" id="blockchain-specific-functions"></a>

#### Additional Functions to Get Fee Information <a href="#additional-functions-to-get-fee-information" id="additional-functions-to-get-fee-information"></a>

* `getFeesWithRates`
* `getFeesWithMemo`
* `getFeeRates`

```
type FeeRate = number
type FeeRates = Record<FeeOptionKey, FeeRate>
type FeesWithRates = { rates: FeeRates; fees: Fees }

getFeesWithRates(memo?: string): Promise<FeesWithRates>
getFeesWithMemo(memo: string): Promise<Fees>
getFeeRates(): Promise<FeeRates>
```

#### Scans UTXOs on the Address <a href="#scans-utxos-on-the-address" id="scans-utxos-on-the-address"></a>

```
scanUTXOs(): Promise<void>
```
