This didn't go completely smoothly, unfortunately.
The first issue I hit was that the typings exported by typechain did not inherit from the ethers
Contractclass properly: meaning that I got errors when trying to access e.g.nitroAdjudicator.address. I tracked this down to a mismatch in versions between ethers and typechain. Newer versions of ethers have aBaseContractclass, which is imported by typechain. Older versions (still v5) do not export such a class. See ethers-io/ethers.js#1384 for more info.The next issue was with the typechain contract factories. I got some typescript errors when trying to use these, so I had to fall back to regular ethers contract factories plus type asserting the return value as a typechain class.
Nevertheless, this PR brings us to a state where we can do this:
I didn't spread the types around the codebase much, yet. For now I just used them in the gas benchmarking test. We can do more of that kind of thing in future PRs.
