Large amount of chainId calls

[rhlsthrm]

I'm monitoring my RPC calls through my hosted provider and I'm seeing a really large number of calls to eth_chainId. We are not calling this directly anywhere in our code. Is this being called by the internal Ethers methods? If so, is there any way to stop/reduce this? We are explicitly instantiating all of our providers with chainId as well.

Hey Rahul, you can use StaticJsonRpcProvider instead of JsonRpcProvider to prevent chain id calls. The previous issue you can see #901.

Thank you so much for this! I searched in the issues but I couldn't find your issue for some reason.

You're welcome!
