Ethereum endpoint support

Etherlink nodes use Geth to provide access to both standard Ethereum RPC endpoints and Geth-specific RPC endpoints. These tables list these endpoints and whether Etherlink supports them:

Standard Ethereum endpoints

For information about these endpoints, see JSON-RPC API and the Ethereum JSON-RPC Specification in the Ethereum documentation.

Geth-specific endpoints

This table shows the Geth endpoints that Etherlink nodes support. All other Geth endpoints are not supported. For information about these endpoints, see the Geth documentation at https://geth.ethereum.org/docs.

EndpointSupportedNotes
debug_traceTransactionPartiallySupported on testnet but not Mainnet
eth_callNoEtherlink nodes use the standard Ethereum version of the eth_call endpoint instead of the Geth version
txpool_contentPartiallyReturns the transaction pool on testnet but always returns an empty pool on Mainnet

ethers.js SDK methods

The Etherlink EVM node supports these ethers.js methods:
