ethereum-multicall is a lightweight library for interacting with the Multicall3 smart contract.
Multicall allows multiple smart contract constant function calls to be grouped into a single call and the results aggregated into a single result. This reduces the number of separate JSON RPC requests that need to be sent over the network if using a remote node like Infura, and provides the guarantee that all values returned are from the same block. The latest block number is also returned along with the aggregated results.
ethereum-multicall is fully written in typescript so has full compile time support. The motivation of this package was to expose a super simple and easy to understand interface for you to take the full benefits of the multicalls. Also to not being opinionated on how you use it, you can use it with web3, ethers or even pass in a custom nodeUrl and we do it for you. This package takes care of the decoding for you but at the same time if you dont want it to you can turn that part off.
The below networks are supported by default, and custom networks can be supported by providing your own instance a deployed Multicall contract.

$ npm install ethereum-multicall$ yarn add ethereum-multicallAs the official docs mentions here:
Due to signature overloading, multiple functions can have the same name. The first function specifed in the ABI will be bound to its name. To access overloaded functions, use the full typed signature of the functions (e.g. contract["foobar(address,uint256)"]).
So, when creating the contract call context, under the calls array property we should have that in mind and use the method signature rather than the method name. E.g.
const contractCallContext: ContractCallContext = {
reference: 'upV2Controller',
contractAddress: '0x19891DdF6F393C02E484D7a942d4BF8C0dB1d001',

{

},
{
inputs: [
{
internalType: 'uint256',
name: 'sentValue',
type: 'uint256',
},
],
name: 'getVirtualPrice',
outputs: [
{
internalType: 'uint256',

One of the options is the blockNumber, so you can choose the height where you want the data from.

}By default if you dont turn tryAggregate to true if 1 eth_call fails in your multicall the whole result will throw. If you turn tryAggregate to true it means if 1 of your eth_call methods fail it still return you the rest of the results. It will still be in the same order as you expect but you have a success boolean to check if it passed or failed. Keep in mind that if using a custom multicall contract deployment, Multicall version 1's will not work. Use a Multicall2 deployment (contract can be found here).

}by default it looks at your network from the provider you passed in and makes the contract address to the known multicall contract addresses 0xcA11bde05977b3631167028862bE2a173976CA11 this is deployed on every single network but etherlite which uses 0x21681750D7ddCB8d1240eD47338dC984f94AF2aC.
If you wanted this to point at a different multicall contract address just pass that in the options when creating the multicall instance, example:
```ts
const multicall = new Multicall({
multicallCustomContractAddress: '0x5BA1e12693Dc8F9c48aAD8770482f4739bEeD696',
// your rest of your config depending on the provider your using.

This package is brought to you by Josh Stevens. My aim is to be able to keep creating these awesome packages to help the Ethereum space grow with easier-to-use tools to allow the learning curve to get involved with blockchain development easier and making Ethereum ecosystem better. If you want to help with that vision and allow me to invest more time into creating cool packages or if this package has saved you a lot of development time donations are welcome, every little helps. By donating, you are supporting me to be able to maintain existing packages, extend existing packages (as Ethereum matures), and allowing me to build more packages for Ethereum due to being able to invest more time into it. Thanks, everyone!
