Buenas prácticas

  • • Reutiliza providers; evita instanciar nuevos en cada render.
  • • Implementa multicall para reducir latencia y gas.
  • • Maneja reconexión automática en WebSocket provider.
  • • Tipa contratos con typechain.
  • • Suscribe a eventos con filtros específicos, no catch‑all.

Best practices

  • • Reuse providers; avoid instantiating new ones on every render.
  • • Implement multicall to reduce latency and gas.
  • • Handle auto-reconnect on WebSocket provider.
  • • Type contracts with typechain.
  • • Subscribe to events with specific filters, not catch-all.
