Method List

77 methods. The debug and ots namespaces are not enabled on this endpoint. Client: erigon.

Every method below is rate-limited. The limits are per-client and deliberately unpublished — they may change without notice. Batches count per element and never cache.

Caching is live on this endpoint. The Cached column describes the live behavior: Always = cached for every query. By hash = cached when the block param is a 0x hash. Hash-based transaction lookups (eth_getTransactionByHash, eth_getTransactionReceipt, eth_getRawTransactionByHash, and the by-tx traces) never cache: the pre-mine answer (null or "0x") is transient, and caching it lies to a poller for up to 24 h. Below finality = cached when the numeric block sits below the finalized checkpoint; latest tags and recent blocks never cache. Two-sight = a second identical request within 60 s confirms the store, so a null or error body never enters the cache.

Every cached response echoes your request id back and serves only clean bodies: a null result or a JSON-RPC error is remembered for 24 h instead of being cached. Equivalent spellings share one entry: addresses and hashes fold to lowercase, quantity zeros strip, and object keys sort.

This endpoint runs erigon. The debug and ots namespaces are disabled on this fleet by design, so those methods answer "method not found". The ethereum and pulsechain fleets run different clients with different configurations, so their method sets and tracing outputs are not identical.
