} = require('@kaiachain/web3js-ext')
async function main() {
  console.log(
    'example basefee in ston =',
    formatKlayUnits('0x5d21dba00', 'ston')
  )
  console.log('transfer amount in klay =', formatKlay('1230000000000000000'))
  console.log(
    'example gas price in peb =',
    parseKlayUnits('50', 'ston').toString()
  )
  console.log('transfer amount in peb =', parseKlay('9.87').toString())
}
main()
