Smart Contract Execution

TxTypeSmartContractExecution executes a smart contract with the given data. TxTypeSmartContractExecution is accepted only if "to" is a smart contract account.

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

Define sender and fee payer addresses and 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 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 contract address you want to execute into the to field and set ABI

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

Encode the function name and parameter with the encodeFunctionData function

Build the transaction object with type FeeDelegatedSmartContractExecution

Populate the transaction with necessary details

Sign the transaction by the 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.

The wait function returns the tx receipt if the tx was sent to the blockchain successfully.
