RPC: Supported methods

GraphOps supports standard Ethereum-compatible JSON-RPC methods on supported EVM networks. Methods are available over HTTPS unless the transport column says WebSocket only. Current credit rates and method classes appear below.

Bitcoin RPC uses native Bitcoin JSON-RPC method names rather than the EVM methods listed on this page. See API integration for the Bitcoin endpoint and request shape.

Method behavior can differ by network and node client. Check the notes for the methods you use; for an unlisted method or network-specific feature, ask GraphOps support about availability.

Choose a method

Use eth_call, eth_getBalance, eth_getCode, and eth_getStorageAt for direct state reads.
Use eth_getLogs for historical event backfills and WebSocket logs subscriptions for live event streams.
Use eth_sendRawTransaction for transaction submission. Sign transactions in your application or wallet.
Use safe, finalized, or explicit block references when consistency matters more than freshness.
Use Substreams or Subgraphs when the workflow is better served by streaming or indexed GraphQL access.

RPC method cost class

Class	Methods
Compute-heavy	`eth_call`, `eth_createAccessList`, `eth_estimateGas`, `eth_getLogs`

Archive and state-heavy	`eth_getBalance`, `eth_getCode`, `eth_getProof`, `eth_getStorageAt`, `eth_getTransactionCount`
Standard	All methods not matched by another class

Request example

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "eth_blockNumber",
  "params": []
}

Response example

{  "jsonrpc": "2.0",JSON-RPC version  "id": 1,Matches the id you sent  "result": "0x112a880"Latest block: 18,000,000 in decimal}

A successful response returns the latest block number as a hex quantity.

State and execution

Method	Params	Returns	Transport	Notes
`eth_getBalance`	`[address, block]`	Wei balance hex quantity	HTTPS	Use explicit blocks for repeatable reads.
