Provider

The Provider lets you connect to a Fuel node (docs) and interact with it, encapsulating common client operations in the SDK. Those operations include querying the blockchain for network, block, and transaction-related info (and more), as well as sending transactions to the blockchain.

All higher-level abstractions (e.g. Wallet, Contract) that interact with the blockchain go through the Provider, so it's used for various actions like getting a wallet's balance, deploying contracts, querying their state, etc.
