if (valid) {
  console.log('This is a valid address')
} else {
  console.log('Address INVALID')
}
// This will log 'This is a valid address' to the console.

const WAValidator = require('@swyftx/api-crypto-address-validator')

const valid = WAValidator.validate('1KFzzGtDdnq5hrwxXGjwVnKzRbvf8WVxck', 'litecoin', 'testnet')

const valid = WAValidator.validate('1KFzzGtDdnq5hrwxXGjwVnKzRbvf8WVxck', 'bitcoin')

if (valid) {
  alert('This is a valid address')
