`.get()` method calls `dryRun` and `estimateGasPrice`

TypeScript SDK

Is it expected that the .get() requests execute estimateGasPrice and dryRun ?

Yes, this is expected. The .get() method internally performs a dryRun, which allows us to retrieve the contract call response without executing a real transaction and incurring costs. The estimateGasPrice step is necessary because, even during a dryRun, the gas and fees must be accurately estimated to ensure proper validation of the call.

You can use the multiCall feature to execute multiple contract .get() calls within a single dryRun operation:

    // the chain call can be originated for any of the used contracts
    const { value: results } = await contract1
      .multiCall([
        contract1.functions.foo(1336), 
        contract2.functions.bar(1337),
        contract3.functions.baz(1338), 
        contract1.functions.foo_2(1336), 
    ]).get();

The value property will be an array containing the returned values in the same order as the calls were made.

For example, the result of the first contract function (contract1.functions.foo(1336)) will be at index 0, the second function (contract2.functions.bar(1337)) at index 1, and so on.

We also have these requests:

Are those requests getNodeInfo and getChainInfo? Are they happening for every connector instantiation?
