    • maxPriorityFeePerGas: (string) maximum fee, in wei, the sender is willing to pay per gas above the base fee.
    • maxFeePerGas: (string) maximum total fee (base fee + priority fee), in wei, the sender is willing to pay per gas.
    • value: (string) hexadecimal of the value sent with this transaction.
