eth-sdk assumes it's ran on the backend

[hasparus]

Problem

The sdk reads JSON ABI from a relative filepath using fs and __dirname. It's not trivial to use it in a frontend project.

ESM support is also lacking.

Solution

We could inline the ABI or require it as a JavaScript module instead. (It's already inlined in factory generated by TypeChain generated.)
