# Tezos

> The Tezos extension also lets you interact with the blockchain using methods from Tezos's [Taquito](https://tezostaquito.io/) SDK.

## Installation

Magic interacts with the [Tezos](https://tezos.com/) blockchain via Magic's extension NPM package [`@magic-ext/taquito`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@magic-ext/taquito).

</Info>

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash NPM icon="npm" theme={null}
  npm install --save @magic-ext/taquito
  ```

  ```bash Yarn icon="yarn" theme={null}
  yarn add @magic-ext/taquito
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Initialization

```javascript JavaScript icon="square-js" theme={null}
import { Magic } from 'magic-sdk';
import { TaquitoExtension } from '@magic-ext/taquito';

const magic = new Magic('YOUR_API_KEY', {
  extensions: [
    new TaquitoExtension({
      rpcUrl: 'TEZOS_RPC_NODE_URL',
    }),
  ],
});
```

## Common Methods

### Send Transaction

Note that the Magic Taquito extension follows the method names and conventions by [**Taquito**](https://tezostaquito.io/). To send a standard Tezos blockchain transaction, you can call the `magic.taquito.createMagicSigner` method to create a signer to inject to Tezos client.

```javascript JavaScript icon="square-js" theme={null}
import { Magic } from 'magic-sdk';
import { TaquitoExtension } from '@magic-ext/taquito';
import { TezosToolkit } from '@taquito/taquito';

const magic = new Magic('YOUR_API_KEY', {
  extensions: [
    new TaquitoExtension({
      rpcUrl: 'https://rpc.oxfordnet.teztnets.com',
    }),
  ],
});

const Tezos = new TezosToolkit('https://rpc.oxfordnet.teztnets.com');
const magicSigner = await magic.taquito.createMagicSigner();

Tezos.setProvider({ signer: magicSigner });

const op = await Tezos.wallet.transfer({ to: destinationAddress, amount: sendXTZAmount });

const result = await op.confirmation();

console.log('result', result)
```
