Write with TxType

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

Define sender's address and private key

Set up the provider with the specified kaia Baobab testnet URL. A provider in web3 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 account using web3.eth.accounts.privateKeyToAccount

Define contract Abi and address to interact with

Create a contract instance using Web3.eth.Contract with defined contractAbi and address. You can read and write the contract through this instance

Get the number before update

Encoded the contract method data with contract.methods.increment().encodeABI()

Create a transaction to update the value number with type: FeeDelegatedSmartContractExecution

Sign the transaction with sender account

Send the transaction to network and wait for the receipt

Get the number after update
