Change of the Voting Interval of Esters. JS Provider in Hardhat
When you use the Ethers.js supplier with your hardhat project, you can find problems with slow network connections or high voting intervals, which can affect the performance and efficiency of your smart contracts in Ethereum. In this article, we will explore how to change the predetermined voting interval of the Ethers.js provider in hardhat.
** Why is the voting interval too high?
The predetermined voting interval for the Ethers.JS supplier is generally established in 4 seconds (4000 ms), which may be fine for most networks. However, if the latency of your network is high or is using a congested network, this interval may not be suitable.
** What happens when we change the voting interval?
When we make changes in the voting interval, we need to update the object ‘Ethers.configto reflect the new value. Here is an example of how to modify the default voting interval:
JavaScript
import {ethers} of 'ethers';
Const Hardhat = request ('hardhat');
ASYNC MAIN FUNCTION () {
Wait ethers.getprovider () in ('network', (info) => {{
if (info.name === 'mainnet') {
// Change the predetermined voting interval at 1000 ms (1 second)
Ethers.config.polling interval = 1000;
}
});
}
Main ().
Modifying
Ethers.config

To change the voting interval, you must update the object 'Ethers.config
. The configuration file is usually located in the file ‘.
Here is an example of how to modify the default voting interval:
`JSON
// .env (or hardhat.config.js)
Voting interval = 1000 // 1 second
Alternatively, you can update the configuration using the Hardhat built -in API:
JavaScript
Const {ethers} = require ('hardhat');
ASYNC MAIN FUNCTION () {
Const networkname = 'mainnet';
Wait ethers.getprovider () in ('network', async (info) => {{{{{{{
if (info.name === networkname) {
// Update the predetermined voting interval at 1000 ms (1 second)
Ethers.config.polling interval = 1000;
// Update the provider Ethers.js using the built -in Hardhat API
Wait Ethers.getprovider ().
Voting interval: 1000,
});
}
});
}
Main ().
Try your changes
After making changes in the voting interval, you can use the
Ethers.supplier with your intelligent contracts and verify that they work properly.
In this example, we have updated the default voting interval at 1000 ms (1 second). We have also included a trial case in Hardhat to demonstrate how to update the voting interval:
JavaScript
// Main.js
import {ethers} of 'ethers';
ASYNC MAIN FUNCTION () {
Wait ethers.getprovider () in ('network', async (info) => {{{{{{{
if (info.name === 'mainnet') {
// Update the predetermined voting interval at 1000 ms (1 second)
Ethers.config.polling interval = 1000;
// Create a new contract instance with the updated pollinng interval
Instance of the Constitution = Ethers.get Contracting Factory ('My Contract');
Contract = Wait Contractininnance.depoy ();
// Use the contract instance to prove its functionality
}
});
}
Main ().
`
Following the thesis steps, you can easily change the predetermined voting interval of the Ethers.J provider in Hardhat and optimize the performance of your intelligent contract.
