## About Run

Run operation means that you execute the contract's function on-chain by sending it an external inbound message. Run steps

Run operation consists of few steps:

1. Creating a message;
2. Sending a message;
3. Receiving the message completion transaction;
4. Receiving external messages created by `return` function;
5. Decoding the messages bodies according to the ABI.

## Run on-chain

For running methods of ABI-compatible contracts AppKit provides `run` method:

```
 // Call `touch` function
let response = await helloAcc.run("touch", {});
```
