Account Update

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

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

Set up the provider with the specified kairos testnet URL. A provider in web3 is a read-only abstraction to access the blockchain data.

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

Create a KlaytnWeb3 instance using the provider

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.

Signing the transaction with the sender's private key

Send the signed tx to the blockchain. It will return the receipt of the transaction
