Write (Fee Delegation)

You can make a "transaction" that including payment request to feepayer when you want to execute the Smart Contract.

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

Define sender, fee payer address and sender private key

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

Also, you can change the provider URL from kairos to quicknode

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

Create a fee payer's wallet using the sender's private key and the provider

Set the Abi generated from solidity code

Define contract address to interact with

Create a contract instance with ethers.Contract, fill in params contractAddr, abi, provider. You can read and write the contract through this instance

Get the value of number from contract by using method counter.number()

Create a transaction data to update the number value

Create a transaction object with data from previous step

Sign the transaction with sender's wallet

Send the transaction to blockchain using fee payer's wallet. Function sendTransactionAsFeePayer adds a signature with FeePayer’s private key to the sender’s signature and transmits it to the blockchain network.

Get the updated value number by using method counter.number()
