Initialization
A Defire instance is always associated with an Ethereum account, known as Defire main account, and currently there are two ways to initialize it. One way is to use the account's private key and the other one is with an account connector object.
The Ethereum account used to initialize Defire instance is called "Main Defire account".
Initializing with a private key
Initialize the library using an Ethereum account private key.
