How to use the multicall() function

💡
What is a multicall() function?

A multicall function in a smart contract is a mechanism that allows multiple function calls to be executed in a single transaction. It is designed to optimize efficiency and reduce the cost of interacting with the smart contract by batching multiple calls into a single operation.

What is the benefit of using a multicall() function?
  • With a multicall function, you can combine several function calls into one transaction, reducing the number of transactions and optimizing gas usage.
  • The multicall function operates by receiving a list of function calls as input, where each call specifies the target contract, the function to be invoked, and any required parameters. The smart contract then executes each function call sequentially within the same transaction, allowing multiple operations to be performed atomically.
  • It helps reduce the number of blockchain interactions, conserves gas costs, and can enhance the overall performance of decentralized applications (DApps) built on the blockchain.
