# useZamaSDK

Hook to access the raw ZamaSDK instance from ZamaProvider context.

Hook to access the raw `ZamaSDK` instance from `ZamaProvider` context. Use this for advanced scenarios where the standard hooks do not cover your use case.

## Import

```ts
import { useZamaSDK } from "@zama-fhe/react-sdk";
```

## Usage

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="component.tsx" %}

```tsx
import { useZamaSDK } from "@zama-fhe/react-sdk";

function AdvancedOperations() {
  const sdk = useZamaSDK();

  async function handleCustomOperation() {
    // Access the SDK directly for operations not covered by hooks
    const token = sdk.createToken("0xToken");
    const name = await token.name();
    const symbol = await token.symbol();
    console.log(name, symbol);
  }

  return <button onClick={handleCustomOperation}>Run</button>;
}
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="config.ts" %}

```ts
import { createConfig as createZamaConfig } from "@zama-fhe/react-sdk/wagmi";
import { web } from "@zama-fhe/sdk/web";
import { sepolia, type FheChain } from "@zama-fhe/sdk/chains";
import { config as wagmiConfig } from "./wagmi";

const mySepolia = {
  ...sepolia,
  relayerUrl: "https://your-app.com/api/relayer/11155111",
} as const satisfies FheChain;

export const zamaConfig = createZamaConfig({
  chains: [mySepolia],
  wagmiConfig,
  relayers: { [mySepolia.id]: web() },
});

// In your app layout:
// <ZamaProvider config={zamaConfig}>
//   <App />
// </ZamaProvider>
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Parameters

None. The SDK instance is read from the nearest `ZamaProvider` context.

## Return Type

`ZamaSDK`

The configured SDK instance. Throws if called outside a `ZamaProvider`.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.zama.org/protocol/sdk/api-references/react/usezamasdk.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
