SignTypedDataParameters

Adds an EVM chain to the wallet.

WatchAssetParameters
Boolean indicating if the token was successfully added. WatchAssetReturnType
Executes a write function on a contract.
A "write" function on a Solidity contract modifies the state of the blockchain. These types of functions require gas to be executed, and hence a Transaction is needed to be broadcast in order to change the state.
Internally, uses a Wallet Client to call the sendTransaction
action with ABI-encoded data
.
Warning: The write
internally sends a transaction – it does not validate if the contract write will succeed (the contract may throw an error). It is highly recommended to simulate the contract write with contract.simulate
before you execute it.
