# createAbstractClient

> Function to create an instance of the Abstract Global Wallet client.

Use the `createAbstractClient` function to initialize an `AbstractClient` instance, which provides a set
of actions and methods to make use of the Abstract Global Wallet.

This is useful if you need to create a new `AbstractClient` instance when you already have a signer, such as
in the server-side environment of your application.

## Import

```tsx theme={null}
import { createAbstractClient } from "@abstract-foundation/agw-client";
import type { AbstractClient } from "@abstract-foundation/agw-client"; // Optional
```

## Usage

```tsx theme={null}
import { createAbstractClient } from "@abstract-foundation/agw-client";
import { generatePrivateKey, privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts";
import { abstractTestnet } from "viem/chains";

// As an example, we are creating a new dummy account here for the signer.
const randomPrivateKey = generatePrivateKey(); // Make a random private key
const account = privateKeyToAccount(randomPrivateKey); // Use that to create a signer

const agwClient = await createAbstractClient({
  chain: abstractTestnet,
  signer: account, // The "owner" (initial approved signer) of the AGW smart contract wallet.
});

const hash = await agwClient.sendTransaction({
  to: "0x273B3527BF5b607dE86F504fED49e1582dD2a1C6",
  data: "0x69",
});

console.log("Transaction sent:", `https://sepolia.abscan.org/tx/${hash}`);
```

## Parameters

<ResponseField name="signer" type="Account" required>
  The EOA account that owns the AGW smart contract wallet.

  * If this account has not yet created an Abstract Global Wallet, the first transaction they send will first deploy one,
    set the account as the owner and then continue with the transaction.

  * If the account has already created an Abstract Global Wallet, it will use the existing AGW.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="chain" type="ChainEIP712" required>
  A valid [EIP712 chain](https://viem.sh/zksync/chains) such as
  `abstractTestnet`.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="transport" type="ChainEIP712">
  A [viem Transport](https://viem.sh/docs/clients/transports/http). Defaults to
  `http()`.
</ResponseField>

## Returns

Returns an `AbstractClient` instance. This is an extension of the [Viem wallet client](https://viem.sh/docs/clients/wallet) with
additional methods and properties specific to the Abstract Global Wallet.

<Expandable title="methods">
  <ResponseField name="account" type="Account">
    Returns the Abstract Global Wallet account created using the [createClient](https://viem.sh/docs/clients/custom) function.

    The account has the address of the AGW smart contract wallet using [getSmartAccountAddressFromInitialSigner](/abstract-global-wallet/agw-client/getSmartAccountAddressFromInitialSigner).
  </ResponseField>

  <ResponseField name="batch" type="{ multicall?: boolean | MulticallBatchOptions }">
    Configuration for batch operations. It includes an optional `multicall` property which can be:

    * `boolean`: To enable/disable `eth_call` multicall aggregation.
    * `MulticallBatchOptions`: An object to fine-tune multicall behavior with properties:
      * `batchSize`: The maximum size (in bytes) for each calldata chunk. Default is `1024`.
      * `wait`: The maximum number of milliseconds to wait before sending a batch. Default is `0`.
  </ResponseField>

  <ResponseField name="cacheTime" type="number">
    Time (in ms) that cached data will remain in memory.
  </ResponseField>

  <ResponseField name="ccipRead" type="Function">
