Legacy Account Key

Import the @kaiachain/web3js-ext packages to add kaia features on web3

Define sender's address and private key

Define receiver's address

Set up the provider with the specified kaia Baobab testnet URL. A provider in web3js is a read-only abstraction to access the blockchain data.

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

Define a web3 instance using the provider

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

Create a value transfer transaction, use toPeb helper to convert amount from KLAY to Peb

Sign the transaction with sender's wallet

Send the signed transaction to kaia network

Recover the address from signed transaction using web3.klay.recoverFromTransaction
