dart_web3_multicall #

An efficiency-focused batching library that enables querying multiple pieces of blockchain state in a single RPC call. Ideal for complex UIs that need to display balances for numerous tokens or user data across several contracts.

🚀 Features #

• RPC Optimization: dramatically reduces network overhead and latency.
• Multicall3 Support: Compatible with the industry-standard 0xcA11bde05977b3631167028862bE2a173976CA11 contract.
• Aggregate v3: Supports "allow failures," ensuring one failing call doesn't break the entire batch.
• Low Gas Consumption: Optimized encoding for minimized on-chain execution cost.

Usage Flow #

graph TD
    R1[Request 1: Balance] --> B[Batch Aggregator]
    R2[Request 2: Decimals] --> B
    R3[Request 3: Name] --> B
    B --> M[Multicall.aggregate()]
    M --> S[Serialized Call Data]
    S --> Res[Block result]
    Res --> O1[Result 1]
    Res --> O2[Result 2]
    Res --> O3[Result 3]

🛡️ Security Considerations #

• Gas Limits: Extremely large batches (e.g., > 500 calls) might hit the node's GAS_LIMIT for eth_call. Split very large queries into multiple multicalls.
• Stale Data: Remember that all data in a single multicall is atomic to the same block. If your app relies on cross-block transitions, handle the block-number metadata accurately.
• Contract Verify: In the Multicall constructor, ensure the provided address is actually a Multicall3 deployment on your target chain.

💻 Usage #

Batching Token Balances (with Failure Tolerance) #

import 'package:dart_web3_multicall/dart_web3_multicall.dart';

void main() async {
  final multicall = Multicall(publicClient: client);

  final batch = [
    dai.call('balanceOf', [user]),
    usdc.call('balanceOf', [user]),
    usdt.call('balanceOf', [user]),
  ];

  // allowFailure: true permits successful results even if one token contract reverts
  final results = await multicall.aggregate3(batch, allowFailure: true);

  for (var res in results) {
    if (res.success) {
       print('Balance: ${res.decoded}');
    }
  }
}
