@hethers/abstract-provider/README.md

An Abstract Class for describing an Hedera Hashgraph Provider for hethers.

Abstract Provider
=================

This sub-module is part of the [hethers project](https://github.com/hashgraph/hethers.js). It is a forked version of 
the [abstract-provider](https://github.com/ethers-io/ethers.js/tree/master/packages/abstract-provider) sub-module 
adapted for Hedera Hashgraph's Smart Contract Service.

It is responsible for defining the common interface for a Provider.

A Provider is an abstraction of non-account-based operations on a DLT and
is generally not directly involved in signing transaction or data.

For signing, see the [Abstract Signer](https://github.com/hashgraph/hethers.js/tree/develop/packages/abstract-signer)
or [Wallet](https://github.com/hashgraph/hethers.js/tree/develop/packages/wallet) sub-modules. TODO update `develop`

For more information, see the [documentation](https://docs.hedera.com/hethers/application-programming-interface/providers).
