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

Define fee payer 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 wallet with the private key using web3.eth.accounts.privateKeyToAccount

Create a fee payer's wallet with the private key using web3.eth.accounts.privateKeyToAccount

Generating the public key from the new private key using getPublicKeyFromPrivate

Creating a transaction object with type: TxType.FeeDelegatedAccountUpdate and key contains new public key

Sign the transaction with the sender account

Use fee payer account to sign the transaction with signTransactionAsFeePayer

Send the signed transaction to blockchain with web3.eth.sendSignedTransaction. It will return the transaction receipt
