         - If methodArgs are provided then only those values will be used to poll methods
     - `startingBlock` is the block we want to begin watching the contract, usually the deployment block of that contract

+- `ethereum` fields hold information for the Ethereum node, network, and chain
 
 At the very minimum, for each contract address an ABI and a starting block number need to be provided (or just the starting block if the ABI can be reliably fetched from Etherscan).
 With just this information we will be able to watch all events at the contract, but with no additional filters and no method polling.
