Describe the Problem

Can I ask, for the infura provider, why has it not been written to match the actual infura prefix, vs a custom name.

Case in point, mumbai on infura is "polygon-mumbai", whereas you expect "matic-mumbai".

I could understand it if this was a generic provider, but it's specific to Infura... so why not code it with that in mind?

Because we want to use the same key across all providers. So if you create a new EtherscanProvider(“matic”), you can also create a new InfuraProvider("matic").

The goal is to abstract provider-specific details away from the developer so you don’t have to know specifics about each service to use one provider or the other; they all behave the same. :)

Make sense?
