## Response

```json
{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": "getblock.io",
    "result": "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000de0b6b3a7640000"

| ------ | ------ | ----------------------------------------- |
| result | string | Return data from the contract call (hex). |

## Use Case

The `eth_call` method is essential for:

* Reading smart contract state
* Token balance queries (ERC-20 balanceOf)
* Price feed lookups
* Simulating transactions before sending
* DeFi protocol integrations

## Error Handling

| Error Code | Message            | Cause                       |
| ---------- | ------------------ | --------------------------- |
| -32602     | Invalid params     | Invalid transaction object. |
| -32603     | Internal error     | Contract execution error.   |
| 3          | Execution reverted | Contract reverted the call. |
