prependTransactionInstruction if you only need to prepend one instruction to a transaction message.
import { address } from '@solana/addresses';
import { prependTransactionMessageInstructions } from '@solana/transaction-messages';
const memoTransaction = prependTransactionMessageInstructions(
[
{
data: new TextEncoder().encode('Hello world!'),
programAddress: address('MemoSq4gqABAXKb96qnH8TysNcWxMyWCqXgDLGmfcHr'),
},
{
data: new TextEncoder().encode('How are you?'),
programAddress: address('MemoSq4gqABAXKb96qnH8TysNcWxMyWCqXgDLGmfcHr'),
