Account Update

Import the ethers and @kaiachain/ethers-ext packages to add kaia features on ethers.js

Define sender address, sender private key and new private key to be changed

Set up the provider with the specified kaia Baobab testnet URL. A provider in ethers is a read-only abstraction to access the blockchain data.

Also, you can change the provider URL from baobab to allthatnode

Create a sender's wallet with the private key and provider

Compute the public key from the new private key

Declare a transaction in the key field with the computed public key

Send the tx to the blockchain. Function sendTransaction internally signs with the private key of the account and then transmits it to the blockchain network.

The wait function returns the tx receipt if it is completed in the blockchain.

// But you might want to register a different private key.
