frontrun a kadena transaction in csharp

Here is some sample code in C# using web3 to frontrun a Kadena transaction:

main.cs
using Nethereum.Hex.HexConvertors.Extensions;
using Nethereum.Hex.HexTypes;
using Nethereum.RPC.Eth.DTOs;
using Nethereum.Web3;
using Nethereum.Web3.Accounts.Managed;
using System.Threading;

// Set up web3 with your endpoint and account information
var web3 = new Web3("https://api.chainweb.com/mainnet/0.0/kadena/chainweb/0");

var privateKey = "YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY";
var account = new ManagedAccount(privateKey);
web3.TransactionManager.Account = account.AccountAddress;

// Get the current gas price
var gasPrice = await web3.Eth.GasPrice.SendRequestAsync();

// Create a new transaction from your account to the target contract with the desired gas price (add some buffer to ensure the transaction gets picked up)
var transaction = new TransactionInput
{
    GasPrice = new HexBigInteger(gasPrice.Value + 1000000000),
    To = "CONTRACT_ADDRESS",
    Value = new HexBigInteger(0),
    Data = "TRANSACTION_DATA"
};

// Send the transaction
var txId = await web3.Eth.Transactions.SendTransaction.SendRequestAsync(transaction);

// Wait a bit to allow the transaction to propagate
Thread.Sleep(3000);

// Check the status of the new transaction
var receipt = await web3.Eth.Transactions.GetTransactionReceipt.SendRequestAsync(txId);

// If the new transaction succeeded, create another transaction with the desired parameters that you want to frontrun
if (receipt.Status.Value == 1)
{
    // Create the frontrunning transaction (set the gas price to be slightly higher this time to ensure that it gets picked up before the one you just sent)
    var frontrunTransaction = new TransactionInput
    {
        GasPrice = new HexBigInteger(gasPrice.Value + 2000000000),
        To = "CONTRACT_ADDRESS",
        Value = new HexBigInteger(0),
        Data = "FRONTRUN_DATA"
    };

    // Send the frontrunning transaction
    var frontrunTxId = await web3.Eth.Transactions.SendTransaction.SendRequestAsync(frontrunTransaction);
}

This code is assuming that you have already set up a web3 instance that is connected to the Kadena blockchain, and that you have your private key and contract data ready to go. Make sure to replace the string placeholders with your own data.
