# STACKS\_MAINNET

Pre-configured `StacksNetwork` object for Stacks **mainnet**. Uses the Hiro mainnet API (`https://api.mainnet.hiro.so`) as the default base URL.

***

### Usage

```ts
import { STACKS_MAINNET } from '@stacks/network';

console.log(STACKS_MAINNET.client.baseUrl);
// 'https://api.mainnet.hiro.so'
```

Most `@stacks/transactions` functions accept a network string directly, making the constant optional:

```ts
import { makeSTXTokenTransfer } from '@stacks/transactions';

const tx = await makeSTXTokenTransfer({
  // ...
  network: 'mainnet', // equivalent to passing STACKS_MAINNET
});
```

#### Notes

* Addresses on mainnet start with `SP` (single-sig) or `SM` (multi-sig).
* The `bootAddress` is `SP000000000000000000002Q6VF78`.
* Magic bytes: `X2`.
