The await operator is used to wait for a Promise and get its fulfillment value. It can only be used inside an async function or at the top level of a module. |

I will do my best to explain it to you in plain English - wait() lets you mint a block that will record the transaction you are calling before calling a wait() function. for example, await simpleStorage.deployTransaction.wait(6) - in the case, you will wait for 6 blocks to be mined before carrying on the rest of the code. This allows you to proceed when a certain tx is complete. I hope that makes sense!! |
