PrepareTransactionRequestParameters
The transaction request. PrepareTransactionRequestReturnType
Calls a read-only function on a contract, and returns the response.
A "read-only" function (constant function) on a Solidity contract is denoted by a view
or pure
keyword. They can only read the state of the contract, and cannot make any changes to it. Since read-only methods do not change the state of the contract, they do not require any gas to be executed, and can be called by any user without the need to pay for gas.
Internally, uses a Public Client to call the call
action with ABI-encoded data

action additionally supports Replacement detection (e.g. sped up Transactions).
Transactions can be replaced when a user modifies their transaction in their wallet (to speed up or cancel). Transactions are replaced when they are sent from the same nonce.
There are 3 types of Transaction Replacement reasons:
repriced
: The gas price has been modified (e.g. different maxFeePerGas
)cancelled
: The Transaction has been cancelled (e.g. value === 0n
)replaced
: The Transaction has been replaced (e.g. different value

WaitForTransactionReceiptParameters
The transaction receipt. WaitForTransactionReceiptReturnType
Watches and returns incoming block numbers.
poll: true
, calls eth_blockNumber
on a polling interval.poll: false
& WebSocket Transport, uses a WebSocket subscription via eth_subscribe
and the "newHeads"
event.WatchBlockNumberParameters
A function that can be invoked to stop watching for new block numbers. WatchBlockNumberReturnType
Watches and returns information for incoming blocks.
poll: true
, calls eth_getBlockByNumber
on a polling interval.poll: false
& WebSocket Transport, uses a WebSocket subscription via eth_subscribe
and the "newHeads"
event.WatchBlocksParameters
A function that can be invoked to stop watching for new block numbers. WatchBlocksReturnType
Watches and returns emitted contract event logs.
This Action will batch up all the event logs found within the pollingInterval
, and invoke them via onLogs
.
watchContractEvent
will attempt to create an Event Filter and listen to changes to the Filter per polling interval, however, if the RPC Provider does not support Filters (e.g. eth_newFilter
), then watchContractEvent
will fall back to using getLogs
instead.

The Account of the Client.
