JSON-RPC Compatibility

Conflux eSpace implements the Web3 JSON-RPC protocol.

Check out the following video to get a quick overview of this topic:

Notes​

  • eth_sendRawTransaction supports legacy(EIP-155), type-1(EIP-2930) and type-2(EIP-1559) transactions. Type-3 transactions (EIP-4844) transactions are not supported yet.
  • Methods not listed here are also not supported.
  • There is no concept of uncle (aka ommer) blocks. The eth_getUncleByBlockHashAndIndex and eth_getUncleByBlockNumberAndIndex methods always return null. The eth_getUncleCountByBlockHash and eth_getUncleCountByBlockNumber methods return zero for valid block IDs and null for invalid block IDs. Additionally, uncle-related block metadata such as sha3Uncles is sha3 of empty hash array.
  • The nonstandard Geth tracing APIs are not supported at present
  • The nonstandard Parity tracing APIs are in progress

extra burntGasFee field of transaction receipts​

The implementation of 1559 in Conflux eSpace differs slightly from Ethereum. The base fee of the transaction is not entirely burned; instead, it is partially burned according to a certain ratio, with the remaining part still serving as the miner's revenue. An additional field burntGasFee is added to the transaction receipt (e.g. got from eth_getTransactionReceipt RPC) to record the amount of fees that is burned.

For more information, please refer to CIP-137.

pending tag​

Only eth_getTransactionCount method has supported pending tag. Other method will treat pending tag as latest

  • eth_getTransactionCount ✅
  • eth_getBalance
  • eth_getCode
  • eth_getStorageAt
  • eth_call

Note: filter related methods also not support pending tag
