// Example: Connecting to Solana networks
import { SolanaRPCService } from './services/blockchain/solanaRPC';

const rpcService = new SolanaRPCService('devnet');
await rpcService.connect();
const accountInfo = await rpcService.getAccountInfo(publicKey);

Wallet Adapter Integration

// Example: Wallet connection
import { WalletAdapter } from './services/blockchain/walletAdapter';

const wallet = new WalletAdapter();
await wallet.connect('phantom');
const signature = await wallet.signTransaction(transaction);
