Role-based Account Key

AccountKeyRoleBased represents a role-based key. If an account has an AccountKeyRoleBased object and the transaction type is one except account update, the validation process is done according to each roles like below:

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

Define sender's address, private key and others role-based private keys

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

Define a message to be signed and recovered

Sign the message with sender's wallet

Recover the address from signed message using ethers.utils.verifyMessage

Recover the address from signed message using klay_recoverFromMessage
