Multiple Contract Calls

You can execute multiple contract calls in a single transaction, either to the same contract or to different contracts. This can improve efficiency and reduce the overall transaction costs.

Same Contract multi calls

Use the multiCall method to call multiple functions on the same contract in a single transaction:

ts

const { waitForResult } = await counterContract
  .multiCall([
    counterContract.functions.get_count(),
    counterContract.functions.increment_count(2),
    counterContract.functions.increment_count(4),
  ])
  .call();

const { value: results } = await waitForResult();

const initialValue = new BN(results[0]).toNumber();
const incrementedValue1 = new BN(results[1]).toNumber();
const incrementedValue2 = new BN(results[2]).toNumber();

expect(incrementedValue1).toEqual(initialValue + 2);
expect(incrementedValue2).toEqual(incrementedValue1 + 4);

Different contracts multi calls

The multiCall method also allows you to execute multiple contract calls to distinct contracts within a single transaction:

ts

const chain = echoContract.multiCall([
  echoContract.functions.echo_u8(17),
  counterContract.functions.get_count(),
  counterContract.functions.increment_count(5),
]);

const { waitForResult } = await chain.call();
const { value: results } = await waitForResult();

const echoedValue = results[0];
const initialCounterValue = new BN(results[1]).toNumber();
const counterIncrementedValue = new BN(results[2]).toNumber();

expect(echoedValue).toEqual(17);
expect(counterIncrementedValue).toEqual(initialCounterValue + 5);
See code in context

You can also chain supported contract call methods, like callParams, for each contract call:

ts

const { waitForResult } = await contextContract
  .multiCall([
    echoContract.functions.echo_u8(10),
    contextContract.functions.return_context_amount().callParams({
      forward: [100, baseAssetId],
    }),
  ])
  .call();

const { value: results } = await waitForResult();

const echoedValue = results[0];
const fowardedValue = new BN(results[1]).toNumber();

expect(echoedValue).toEqual(10);
expect(fowardedValue).toEqual(100);
See code in context

When chaining contract call methods within multiCall, avoid executing the contract functions themselves, such as .call, .get, and .simulate.

The multiCall method creates a scope for all contract calls, which will only be executed after invoking the .call method.
