@keppel What are these function. I get these when i do this.
var connect = require('lotion')
let GCI = '91d61db1dce394931297b59d584eb723b8009c40d72bb8ec8aeccf4a9ba008b1'
async function send(){
return (await connect(GCI))
}

send().then(function(state){
var txs = async function(){
let result = await send ({ nonce: 0 }).then(function(data){
console.log(data);
})
}();
})

So I can access blockchain

1. tendermint rpc (this actually works)
2. GCI (I can access through gci but not familiar on how to call the function to txs on blockchain, readme is not updated on this)

The connect() method actually returns a few methods (getState() and send()) itself which you can utilise:

let { connect } = require('lotion')

async main() => {
    // Create lightclient via lotion's connect() method
    let lc = await connect(null, { genesis, nodes })

    // Get the current state via the lightclient's getState() method
    let currentState = await(lc.getState())
    console.log(currentState)

    // Send a transaction via the send() method
    let tx = {'key': 'your_tx_object_here'}
    let response = await lc.send(tx)
    console.log(response)
}

main()

I hope this helps.
