Go SDK - Examples

For sample code which explains the core concepts of how to use the SDK, see:

• Quickstart
• Fetching Data
• Building, Simulating, and Submitting Transactions

Below are additional resources which may be more suited for your individual use case.

Code Snippets

The examples folder in the SDK repository has many code snippets you can customize. These examples are part of the SDK’s CI surface.

Example	Description
transfer_coin	Basic APT transfer between two accounts
orderless_transaction	Orderless transfer with a replay-protection nonce
sponsored_transaction	Fee-payer sponsored transaction
multi_agent	Multi-agent transaction with two signers
sending_concurrent_transactions	Concurrent submissions from one account
fungible_asset	Fungible asset transfer
onchain_multisig	On-chain multisig account flow
offchain_multisig	Off-chain multisig signing
script_transaction	Script payload construction
alternative_signing	Custom / alternative signer
external_signing	Sign with an external signer

Note

Prefer these repository examples over copying snippets from older blog posts. The Go SDK tracks the current on-chain transaction payload formats, including orderless inner payloads.

How to run examples

To run one of the example scripts:

1. Clone the repository.

   git clone https://github.com/aptos-labs/aptos-go-sdk.git
   cd aptos-go-sdk

2. Run an example from the repository root. Go downloads module dependencies automatically.

   go run examples/transfer_coin/main.go

The SDK requires Go 1.25+.

Helpful Reference Code

• Integration tests - Broader flows that use the SDK against a live network.
• Package tests - *_test.go files next to the implementation.
• SDK source code - This has in-line comments explaining what each function does.
• SDK reference docs - These are another way to view the in-line documentation with built-in search.
