Signature(signature)

• signature is a seth-style function signature of function_name(input,types)(output,types). it also supports structs which need to be broken down to basic parts, e.g. (address,bytes)[].

use encode_data(args) with input args to get the calldata. use decode_data(output) with the output to decode the result.

Call(target, function, returns)

• target is the to address which is supplied to eth_call.
• function can be either seth-style signature of method(input,types)(output,types) or a list of [signature, *args].
• returns is a list of [name, handler] for return values. if returns argument is omitted, you get a tuple, otherwise you get a dict. to skip processing of a value, pass None as a handler.

use Call(...)() with predefined args or Call(...)(args) to reuse a prepared call with different args.

use decode_output(output) with to decode the output and process it with returns handlers.

Multicall(calls)

• calls is a list of calls with prepared values.

use Multicall(...)() to get the result of a prepared multicall.

Environment Variables

• GAS_LIMIT: sets overridable default gas limit for Multicall to prevent out of gas errors. Default: 50,000,000
• MULTICALL_DEBUG: if set, sets logging level for all library loggers to logging.DEBUG
• AIOHTTP_TIMEOUT: sets aiohttp timeout period in seconds for async calls to node. Default: 20
