Calls a read-only function on a contract, and returns the response.
A "read-only" function (constant function) on a Solidity contract is denoted by a view or pure keyword. They can only read the state of the contract, and cannot make any changes to it. Since read-only methods do not change the state of the contract, they do not require any gas to be executed, and can be called by any user without the need to pay for gas.
Internally, uses a Public Client to call the call action with ABI-encoded data.

Transactions can be replaced when a user modifies their transaction in their wallet (to speed up or cancel). Transactions are replaced when they are sent from the same nonce.
There are 3 types of Transaction Replacement reasons:
repriced: The gas price has been modified (e.g. different maxFeePerGas)cancelled: The Transaction has been cancelled (e.g. value === 0n)replaced: The Transaction has been replaced (e.g. different value or data)The transaction receipt. WaitForTransactionReceiptReturnType

Executes a write function on a contract.
A "write" function on a Solidity contract modifies the state of the blockchain. These types of functions require gas to be executed, and hence a Transaction is needed to be broadcast in order to change the state.
Internally, uses a Wallet Client to call the sendTransaction action with ABI-encoded data.
Warning: The write internally sends a transaction – it does not validate if the contract write will succeed (the contract may throw an error). It is highly recommended to simulate the contract write with contract.simulate before you execute it.

Calls a read-only function on a contract, and returns the response.
A "read-only" function (constant function) on a Solidity contract is denoted by a view or pure keyword. They can only read the state of the contract, and cannot make any changes to it. Since read-only methods do not change the state of the contract, they do not require any gas to be executed, and can be called by any user without the need to pay for gas.
Internally, uses a Public Client to call the call action with ABI-encoded data.

Transactions can be replaced when a user modifies their transaction in their wallet (to speed up or cancel). Transactions are replaced when they are sent from the same nonce.
There are 3 types of Transaction Replacement reasons:
repriced: The gas price has been modified (e.g. different maxFeePerGas)cancelled: The Transaction has been cancelled (e.g. value === 0n)replaced: The Transaction has been replaced (e.g. different value or data)The transaction receipt. WaitForTransactionReceiptReturnType
