### Basic Usage
1. Initialize Base Account SDK
```js
const sdk = createBaseAccountSDK({
appName: 'SDK Playground',
});
```
2. Make Base Account Provider
```js
const provider = sdk.getProvider();
```
3. Request accounts to initialize a connection to wallet
```js
const addresses = provider.request({
method: 'eth_requestAccounts',
});
```
4. Make more requests
```js
provider.request('personal_sign', [
`0x${Buffer.from('test message', 'utf8').toString('hex')}`,
addresses[0],
]);
```
5. Handle provider events
```js
provider.on('connect', (info) => {
setConnect(info);
});
provider.on('disconnect', (error) => {
setDisconnect({ code: error.code, message: error.message });
});
provider.on('accountsChanged', (accounts) => {
setAccountsChanged(accounts);
});
provider.on('chainChanged', (chainId) => {
setChainChanged(chainId);
});
provider.on('message', (message) => {
setMessage(message);
});
```

## Script Tag Usage
Base Accunt can be used directly in HTML pages via a script tag, without any build tools:
```html
```
Once loaded, the SDK is available as `window.base` and `window.createBaseAccountSDK`:
```javascript
// Make a payment
const result = await window.base.pay({
amount: "10.50",
to: "0xYourAddress...",
testnet: true
});
// Check payment status
const status = await window.base.getPaymentStatus({
id: result.id,
testnet: true
});
// Create Base Account Provider
const provider = window.createBaseAccountSDK().getProvider()
```
