const { rpcUrl } = getRpcEndpointUrl('solana', 'devnet');
const { connection } = getNewConnection(rpcEndpointUrl);
 
const { instructionBuffer } = getEmptyBuffer(data);
 
const transaction = new Transaction();
const instruction = new TransactionInstruction({
  data: instructionBuffer,
  programId: EXAMPLE_PROGRAM_ID,
  keys: [{ pubkey: EXAMPLE_PUBLIC_KEY, isSigner: true, isWritable: false }],
});
 
transaction.add(instruction);
 
const { transactionSignature } = await sendAndConfirmTransaction(transaction);
