Ethereum

The Ethereum Gateway provides standard EVM JSON-RPC for reading state, calling contracts, and submitting signed transactions. Its gas token is ETH.

Supported networks

NetworkChain IDJSON-RPC Host
Mainnet1ether-jsonrpc
Sepolia11155111ether-sepolia-jsonrpc

Copy the complete Access Point from the dashboard instead of constructing a domain from the Host.

Endpoint-free calls

On an Accelerator hit, you can call eth_blockNumber, eth_getBlockByNumber([hexHeight, false]), and debug_traceBlockByNumber([hexHeight, {"tracer":"callTracer"}]) without an Endpoint. See Accelerator for exact parameters and miss behavior.

Configure complete method access

  1. Create a Gateway for the target network.
  2. Use Provider sync or manually add an EVM Endpoint on the same network.
  3. Add the Endpoint to the default JSON-RPC route and confirm its health check passes.
  4. Call eth_chainId to verify the network.
curl '<ethereum_access_point>' \ -H 'Authorization: Bearer <app_api_key>' \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"eth_chainId","params":[]}'

Mainnet should return 0x1; Sepolia should return 0xaa36a7.

eth_chainId is not an Accelerator method, so this verification requires a usable Endpoint.

Current limits

  • Single EVM JSON-RPC calls over HTTP are supported; batch, WebSocket, and public gRPC are not.
  • Ethereum Beacon API and generic REST endpoints are not exposed.
  • Archive, trace, and debug methods depend on the upstream node and plan. The Gateway does not fill upstream capability gaps.
  • Sign transactions in the client. See Routing and reliability before retrying writes.

See JSON-RPC and Errors and troubleshooting for shared behavior.
