Quick Start

1. Register a New Asset

import { NUClient } from '@nu/sdk';

const client = new NUClient({
  clientId: process.env.NU_CLIENT_ID,
  clientSecret: process.env.NU_CLIENT_SECRET,
  environment: 'production',
});

await client.authenticate();

// Register a new asset
const asset = await client.createAsset({
  name: 'Digital Gold Token',
  symbol: 'DGT',
  description: 'A digital representation of gold',
  totalSupply: 1000000,
  decimals: 18,
  metadata: {
    category: 'precious-metals',
    compliance: 'regulated',
    issuer: 'Gold Reserve Inc.',
  },
});

console.log('Asset created:', asset.id);

2. Query Asset Information

// Get asset details
const assetDetails = await client.getAsset(asset.id);
console.log('Asset details:', assetDetails);

// Search assets
const searchResults = await client.searchAssets({
  query: 'gold',
  category: 'precious-metals',
  limit: 10,
});

console.log('Found assets:', searchResults.length);

3. Track Ownership

// Get asset ownership
const ownership = await client.getAssetOwnership(asset.id);
console.log('Current owners:', ownership.owners);

// Get transfer history
const transfers = await client.getAssetTransfers(asset.id, {
  limit: 50,
  fromDate: '2024-01-01',
});

console.log('Transfer history:', transfers.length);

  decimals: 2,
  metadata: {
    category: 'real-estate',

// Create multiple assets
const assets = await client.createAssets([
  {
    name: 'Asset 1',
    symbol: 'A1',
    totalSupply: 1000,

Integration Examples

React Component

import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import { NUClient } from '@nu/sdk';

function AssetManager() {
  const [assets, setAssets] = useState([]);
  const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true);

  useEffect(() => {
    const client = new NUClient({
      clientId: process.env.REACT_APP_NU_CLIENT_ID,
      clientSecret: process.env.REACT_APP_NU_CLIENT_SECRET,
      environment: 'production',
    });

    const loadAssets = async () => {
      try {
        await client.authenticate();
        const assetList = await client.getAssets();
        setAssets(assetList);
      } catch (error) {
        console.error('Failed to load assets:', error);
      } finally {
        setLoading(false);
      }
    };

    loadAssets();
  }, []);

  if (loading) return <div>Loading assets...</div>;

  return (
    <div>
      <h2>Assets ({assets.length})</h2>
      {assets.map((asset) => (
        <div key={asset.id}>
          <h3>
            {asset.name} ({asset.symbol})
          </h3>
          <p>{asset.description}</p>
        </div>
      ))}
    </div>
  );
}

Node.js Service

class AssetService {
  constructor() {
    this.client = new NUClient({
      clientId: process.env.NU_CLIENT_ID,
      clientSecret: process.env.NU_CLIENT_SECRET,
      environment: 'production',
    });
  }

  async initialize() {
    await this.client.authenticate();
  }

  async createAsset(assetData) {
    try {
      return await this.client.createAsset(assetData);
    } catch (error) {
      console.error('Failed to create asset:', error);
      throw error;
    }
  }

  async getAsset(assetId) {
    try {
      return await this.client.getAsset(assetId);
    } catch (error) {
      console.error('Failed to get asset:', error);
      throw error;
    }
  }
}
