Value Transfer Memo

TxTypeValueTransferMemo is used when a user wants to send KAIA with a specific message.

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

Define sender, receiver address and sender private key

Set up the provider with the specified kairos testnet URL. A provider in web3js is a read-only abstraction to access the blockchain data.

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

Create a KlaytnWeb3 instance using the provider

Define the transaction object.

Sign the transaction with the sender's account.

Send the signed transaction to the kaia network.
