Watches and returns information for incoming blocks.
poll: true, calls eth_getBlockByNumber on a polling interval.poll: false & WebSocket Transport, uses a WebSocket subscription via eth_subscribe and the "newHeads" event.WatchBlocksParameters
A function that can be invoked to stop watching for new block numbers. WatchBlocksReturnType

const client = createPublicClient({

Watches and returns emitted contract event logs.
WatchContractEventParameters
A function that can be invoked to stop watching for new event logs. WatchContractEventReturnType
This Action will batch up all the event logs found within the pollingInterval, and invoke them via onLogs.
watchContractEvent will attempt to create an Event Filter and listen to changes to the Filter per polling interval, however, if the RPC Provider does not support Filters (e.g. eth_newFilter), then watchContractEvent will fall back to using getLogs instead.
