+ *   return await getTransactionByHashInner(txnHashString);
+ * }
+ * ```
+ *
+ * This call to `Hex.fromHexInput().toString()` converts the HexInput to a hex string
+ * with a leading 0x prefix, regardless of what the input format was.
+ *
+ * These are some other ways to chain the functions together:
