Multicall3

0xcA11bde05977b3631167028862bE2a173976CA11 | ABI JSON

The Multicall3 contract is a Solidity contract implemented by the MakerDAO team. Its primary purpose is to aggregate results from multiple function calls in a single transaction, which can help reduce gas costs and improve efficiency when interacting with multiple contracts or making multiple calls to the same contracts.

The contract is backwards-compatible with Multicall and Multicall2 contracts, and it provides several functions for aggregating calls, such as aggregate, tryAggregate, blockAndAggregate, aggregate3, and aggregate3Value. These functions accept arrays of Call, Call3, or Call3Value structs, which contain the target contract address, call data, and other optional parameters like whether to allow failures and the value to be sent with the call.

The contract also provides utility functions to retrieve information about the current block, such as block number, block hash, block coinbase, block difficulty, block gas limit, block timestamp, and the balance of a given address.

Use of Multicall3 is particularly useful when working with decentralized applications that require multiple contract interactions or when batching multiple calls to save on gas costs.

Aggregate results from multiple function calls

Multicall & Multicall2 backwards-compatible

Aggregate methods are marked payable to save 24 gas per call

Functions

aggregate

Backwards-compatible call aggregation with Multicall

solidity
function aggregate(Call[] calldata calls) public payable returns (uint256 blockNumber, bytes[] memory returnData);

Parameters

NameTypeDescription

Returns

NameTypeDescription
blockNumberuint256The block number where the calls were executed
returnDatabytes[]An array of bytes containing the responses

tryAggregate

Backwards-compatible with Multicall2

Aggregate calls without requiring success

solidity
function tryAggregate(bool requireSuccess, Call[] calldata calls) public payable returns (Result[] memory returnData);

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
requireSuccessboolIf true, require all calls to succeed
callsCall[]An array of Call structs

Returns

NameTypeDescription
returnDataResult[]An array of Result structs

tryBlockAndAggregate

Backwards-compatible with Multicall2

Aggregate calls and allow failures using tryAggregate

solidity
function tryBlockAndAggregate(bool requireSuccess, Call[] calldata calls)
    public
    payable
    returns (uint256 blockNumber, bytes32 blockHash, Result[] memory returnData);
