Abstract Provider
=================
This sub-module is part of the [ethers project](https://github.com/ethers-io/ethers.js).
It is responsible for defining the common interface for a Provider, which in
ethers differs quite substantially from Web3.js.
A Provider is an abstraction of non-account-based operations on a blockchain and
is generally not directly involved in signing transaction or data.
For signing, see the [Abstract Signer](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@ethersproject/abstract-signer)
or [Wallet](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@ethersproject/wallet) sub-modules.
For more information, see the [documentation](https://docs.ethers.io/v5/api/providers/).
Importing
---------
Most users will prefer to use the [umbrella package](https://www.npmjs.com/package/ethers),
but for those with more specific needs, individual components can be imported.
```javascript
const {

TransactionForkEvent,
TransactionOrderForkEvent,
// Types
