Reading Transactions

Retrieves information on the state data for addresses regardless of whether it is a user or a smart contract.

• eth_getTransactionByHash
• eth_getTransactionByBlockHashAndIndex
• eth_getTransactionByBlockNumberAndIndex

Writing Transactions & EVM Execution

Allows developers to write data on-chain, and interact with smart contracts.

• eth_sendRawTransaction

Account Information

Returns information regarding an address's stored on-chain data.

• eth_getCode

Event Logs

Returns logs which are records that denote/provide context on specific events within a smart contract, like a token transfer or a change of ownership, for example.

• eth_getLogs

Chain Information

Returns information on the network and internal settings.

• eth_chainId

Getting Uncles

Returns information on uncle blocks which are network rejected blocks and replaced by a canonical block instead.

• eth_getUncleCountByBlockHash
• eth_getUncleCountByBlockNumber

Debug

Returns EVM execution traces for diagnosing transaction and block behavior.

• debug_traceTransaction
• debug_traceBlockByNumber
• debug_traceBlockByHash
