Gotcha, okay that makes more sense

Ah, reading this now it seems like this provider either needs to override `Web3Provider.get_contract_logs` to use the 2k block chunks: https://github.com/ApeWorX/ape/blob/79a552f61080aff891bad4bf965bc96fca832c6c/src/ape/api/providers.py#L1020 or change `block_page_size: int = 100` to `block_page_size: int...

Idea: gzip web3py middleware

support for `eth_sendPrivateTransaction` was added in #55

CI: https://github.com/fubuloubu/vaults/actions/runs/249870446

note: this feature of the ApePay system isn't being used yet in a production validator

still haven't really figured out a good way to bundle the manifest with a python package so that SDKs work out of the box without needing to compile things

Wonder if we could just have it subclass `ContractInstance` somehow
