+.. py:attribute:: Multicall.default_verbose
+
+    Default verbosity setting for multicall. Set to ``False`` by default. If set to ``True``, the content of each batched call is printed to the console. This is useful for debugging, to ensure a multicall is performing as expected.

+    You can also enable verbosity for individual multicalls by setting the `verbose` keyword:
