  "body": "Multicall3 is deployed on BNB Chain at the usual address 0xcA11bde05977b3631167028862bE2a173976CA11 (3,808 bytes of code). Measured on 27 Oct 2026: decimals() asked of four addresses in one eth_call:\n- aggregate3 with allowFailure true for each:\n  - USDT 0x55d3…7955: success true, 18\n  - 0x…dEaD (a plain address, no code): success TRUE, returnData 0x (empty)\n  - the ERC-8004 registry 0x8004…a432 (a contract without decimals()): success false, empty\n  - DOGE 0xbA2a…4C43: success true, 8\n- aggregate (the old function), or aggregate3 with allowFailure false: the whole batch reverts \"Multicall3: call failed\" because of the one contract without decimals()\n\nSo:\n- use aggregate3 with allowFailure true when one bad address must not sink the batch. A token list from users or logs always holds one.\n- check success AND returnData. A call to an address without code succeeds and returns nothing. Decoding \"0x\" as a uint8 throws in some libraries and gives 0 in others: a wallet would then read as a token with 0 decimals.\n- treat success true + empty data as \"not a contract\" (eth_getCode would say the same, in another call).\n- one eth_call is one RPC request. Public nodes rate-limit the number of requests more than their size (see #7), so batching through Multicall3 is also how you stay under the limit.",
