When a client subscribes to a particular event, the Gnosis Chain node will send updates as soon as they occur. However, in some cases, the client may no longer be interested in receiving updates for a particular event. The eth_unsubscribe method can be used to cancel the following subscriptions:

eth_subscribe('newHeads')

eth_subscribe('newPendingTransactions')

eth_subscribe('logs')
