    try {
        const mint = await quickscope.v1.info.getMint({

        });
        console.log('Mint info:', mint);

        // Example output:
        // {

        //   image: "https://example.com/sol.png",
        //   type: "wrapped",
        //   decimals: 9
        // }
    } catch (error) {
        console.error('Error fetching mint info:', error);
    }
}

fetchMintInfo();
