| For now, pick `Base Mainnet`, but you'll probably want to delete this endpoint and create a new one for Goerli or Sepolia when you start building. The free tier only allows you to have one at a time. |

Why not use testnet now for this lesson?

No strong reason, other than it's already imported, and IMO neat to connect to the "real" thing.

The one thing I didn't understand is why you're presenting several providers and what the differences in all those providers are. How does one choose? |

| ### Public Providers | ||
|
|
||
| Many tutorials and guides, as well getting started guides for libraries such as [wagmi], will use a _Public Provider_ as the default to get you up and running. Public means that they're open, permissionless, and free, so the guides will also usually warn you that you need to add another provider if you don't want to run into rate limiting. Listen to these warnings! The rate-limits of public providers are severe and you'll start getting limited very quickly. |

A lot of this guide makes mention of the wagmi team's tooling wagmi, viem. Feels like we're specifically promoting them, although the reader may not be familiar with those offerings.
I know this is an ongoing debate - but is it possible to reword the content in a way that doesn't feel bias towards specific third party library / tooling, since this guide isn't reliant or specific to those libraries? (other page is wagmi/rainbowkit specific, but this one doesn't seem like it has to be).

I don't think we can with this one. It's going to be wrapped as a single guide for connecting using them, and will eventually also be embedded in the frontend series for Basecamp, which also uses Rainbowkit/Wagmi/Viem. The references are foreshadowing tasks that they'll be doing in the step by step part.
Were it a blog post, we'd definitely need to neutralize it.

| To give you an idea of usage amounts, a single wagmi `useContractRead` hook set to `watch` for changes on a single `view` will call `eth_blocknumber` and `eth_call` one time each, every 4 seconds. |

Although this can be configured?

What changed? Why?
Add a guide for connecting to the blockchain using providers.
