Subnet-EVM API

Subnet-EVM APIs are identical to Coreth APIs, except Metal Specific APIs starting with avax. Subnet-EVM also supports standard Ethereum APIs as well. For more information about Coreth APIs see here.

Subnet-EVM has some additional APIs that are not available in Coreth.

eth_feeConfig​

Subnet-EVM comes with an API request for getting fee config at a specific block. You can use this API to check your activated fee config.

Signature:

eth_feeConfig([blk BlkNrOrHash]) -> {feeConfig: json}
  • blk is the block number or hash at which to retrieve the fee config. Defaults to the latest block if omitted.

Example Call:

curl -X POST --data '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "eth_feeConfig",
    "params": [
        "latest"
    ],
    "id": 1
}' -H 'content-type:application/json;' 127.0.0.1:9650/ext/bc/2ebCneCbwthjQ1rYT41nhd7M76Hc6YmosMAQrTFhBq8qeqh6tt/rpc

Example Response:

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "result": {
    "feeConfig": {
      "gasLimit": 8000000,
      "targetBlockRate": 2,
      "minBaseFee": 33000000000,
      "targetGas": 15000000,
      "baseFeeChangeDenominator": 36,
      "minBlockGasCost": 0,
      "maxBlockGasCost": 1000000,
      "blockGasCostStep": 200000
    },
    "lastChangedAt": 0
  }
}

eth_getChainConfig​

eth_getChainConfig returns the Chain Config of the blockchain. This API is enabled by default with internal-blockchain namespace.

This API exists on the C-Chain as well, but in addition to the normal Chain Config returned by the C-Chain eth_getChainConfig on subnet-evm additionally returns the upgrade config, which specifies network upgrades activated after the genesis. Signature:

eth_getChainConfig({}) -> {chainConfig: json}

Example Call:

curl -X POST --data '{
    "jsonrpc":"2.0",
    "id"     :1,
    "method" :"eth_getChainConfig",
    "params" :[]
}' -H 'content-type:application/json;' 127.0.0.1:9650/ext/bc/Nvqcm33CX2XABS62iZsAcVUkavfnzp1Sc5k413wn5Nrf7Qjt7/rpc

Example Response:

eth_getActivePrecompilesAt​

eth_getActivePrecompilesAt returns activated precompiles at a specific timestamp. If no timestamp is provided it returns the latest block timestamp. This API is enabled by default with internal-blockchain namespace.

Signature:

eth_getActivePrecompilesAt([timestamp uint]) -> {precompiles: []Precompile}
  • timestamp specifies the timestamp to show the precompiles active at this time. If omitted it shows precompiles activated at the latest block timestamp.

Example Call:

curl -X POST --data '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "eth_getActivePrecompilesAt",
    "params": [],
    "id": 1
