Methods

call

▸ call(transaction, blockTag?): Promise<string>

Returns the result of adding a transaction to the blockchain without actually adding that transaction to the blockchain. Does not require any ether as gas.

• Identical to ethers.provider.call in ethers.js
• Identical to web3.eth.call in web3.js

example

await provider.call({ to: "0x6b175474e89094c44da98b954eedeac495271d0f", data: "0x70a082310000000000000000000000006E0d01A76C3Cf4288372a29124A26D4353EE51BE" });
// '0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000858898f93629000'

Parameters

Name	Type	Default value	Description
transaction	TransactionRequest	undefined	the transaction object to, in theory, execute. Doesn't actually get added to the blockchain.
blockTag	BlockTag	'latest'	the block to execute this transaction on

Returns

Promise<string>

the result of executing the transaction on the specified block

estimateGas

▸ estimateGas(transaction): Promise<TinyBig>

Returns an estimate of the amount of gas that would be required to submit transaction to the network. An estimate may not be accurate since there could be another transaction on the network that was not accounted for.

• Identical to ethers.provider.estimateGas in ethers.js
• Identical to web3.eth.estimateGas in web3.js

example

await provider.estimateGas({
  // Wrapped ETH address
