eth_submitHashrate Ethereum

The eth_submitHashrate method is part of the Ethereum JSON-RPC API and is used to submit the mining hashrate. It is commonly used by mining software, such as Ethminer, to report hash rates.

Submits the mining hashrate.Used by mining software such as Ethminer.

The eth_submitHashrate method is part of the Ethereum JSON-RPC API and is used to submit the mining hashrate. This method is commonly used by mining software, such as Ethminer, to report their hash rates to the Ethereum network.

Supported Networks

The eth_submitHashrate RPC Ethereum method is supported on the following network types:

• Mainnet

• Testnet: Sepolia, Hoodi

Parameters

The method accepts two parameters:

1. DATA (32 Bytes): A hexadecimal string representation of the hash rate.

2. DATA (32 Bytes): A random hexadecimal ID identifying the client submitting the hashrate.

Request

URL

https://go.getblock.io/<ACCESS-TOKEN>/

To interact with the Ethereum eth_submitHashrate endpoint using JSON-RPC, use the following examples:

curl

curl --location --request POST 'https://go.getblock.io/<ACCESS-TOKEN>/' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "eth_submitHashrate",
    "params": [
        "0x500000",
        "0x59daa26581d0acd1fce254fb7e85952f4c09d0915afd33d3886cd914bc7d283c"
    ],
    "id": "getblock.io"
}'

ws

Response

The response indicates whether the hashrate submission was successful.

{
    "id": "getblock.io",
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "result": true
}

Response Description

• result: A boolean value indicating the success (true) or failure (false) of the hashrate submission.

• value: Not directly included in the response, but the value of the submitted hashrate is specified in the parameters.

Use Case

The eth_submitHashrate RPC Ethereum method is widely used by mining software and monitoring tools to:

• Report mining hashrate to the Ethereum network.

• Provide visibility into the computational power contributed by individual miners or mining pools.

• Ensure accurate representation of mining activity on the blockchain.

For instance, a Web3 application that integrates mining functionalities may use the Ethereum eth_submitHashrate method to send hashrate data for analytics or reporting.

Code Example

Here is an eth_submitHashrate example of how to query the method using Python and JavaScript:

Python

import requests
import json

# Define the API URL and headers
url = 'https://go.getblock.io/<ACCESS-TOKEN>/'
headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}

# Prepare the request data
data = {
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "eth_submitHashrate",
    "params": [
        "0x500000",
        "0x59daa26581d0acd1fce254fb7e85952f4c09d0915afd33d3886cd914bc7d283c"
    ],
    "id": "getblock.io"
}

# Send the POST request
response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=json.dumps(data))

# Parse the JSON response
response_data = response.json()

# Print the result
print(json.dumps(response_data, indent=4))

JavaScript

Common Errors

When using the eth_submitHashrate RPC Ethereum method, the following issues may occur:

• Invalid URL or ACCESS-TOKEN: Ensure the URL and token are correct and active.

• eth_submitHashrate error: This could happen if the parameters are improperly formatted.

• Incorrect Hashrate or Client ID: Verify that the submitted hexadecimal strings are valid and meet the 32-byte requirement.

By integrating the Web3 eth_submitHashrate method into your application, you can provide accurate hashrate reporting and ensure proper representation of mining contributions. Use this core API method to monitor and report mining activity seamlessly.
