Subnet-EVM API

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

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": 15000000,
      "targetBlockRate": 2,

      "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

  • startTimestamp: (integer) UNIX timestamp for when validation started.
  • isActive: (boolean) Indicates if the validator is active. This returns true if this is L1 validator and has enough continuous subnet staking fees in P-Chain. It always return true for subnet validators.
  • isL1Validator: (boolean) Indicates if the validator is a L1 validator or a subnet validator.
  • isConnected: (boolean) Indicates if the validator node is currently connected to the callee node.
  • uptimeSeconds: (integer) The number of seconds the validator has been online.
