Legacy Account Key

Import necessary classes from the Web3j and kaia libraries(web3j-ext).

Create a Web3j instance with the specified BAOBAB_URL

Also, you can change the default provider. For example, using the alchemy provider.

Create a credential from private key

Gas price and gas limit settings

Set the sender address equal to the loaded credential's address

Get chain ID from the network

Set the receiver address equal to any valid address

Get the nonce for the sender's address

Set the value to transfer

Set transaction type as VALUE_TRANSFER

Create a raw transaction for value transfer

Sign the transaction

Send the signed transaction to kaia network

Recover the sender address from signed transaction and compare it to the from address

Shut down the Web3j instance
