# spawnConduit

Deploys a new conduit via the factory contract. Requires a `WalletClient` to sign and send the transaction.

:::warning
The factory pulls an initial deposit from the caller. Approve the factory for at least
[`getInitialDepositAmount`](/actions/getInitialDepositAmount) of the vehicle's asset first, and hold
at least that much — this action sends no approval of its own.
:::

## Import

```ts
import { spawnConduit } from '@railnetorg/railnet-sdk'
```

## Usage

```ts
import { createWalletClient, http } from 'viem'
import { base } from 'viem/chains'
import { spawnConduit } from '@railnetorg/railnet-sdk'

const walletClient = createWalletClient({
  chain: base,
  transport: http(),
})

const hash = await spawnConduit(walletClient, {
  factory: '0x1234...',
  name: 'My Conduit',
  symbol: 'COND',
  vehicle: '0x5678...',
  initialExpectedSupply: 1000000000000000000n,
  transferEnabled: true,
  accessControl: '0x...',
  feeManager: '0x...',
  accountList: '0x...',
  ownerRegistry: '0x...',
  account: '0xd2135CfB216b74109775236E36d4b433F1DF507B',
})
```

## Returns

`Hash`

The transaction hash.
