# eth\_createAccessList - Monad

Example code for the eth\_createAccessList JSON-RPC method. Complete guide on how to use eth\_createAccessList JSON-RPC in GetBlock Web3 documentation.

This method creates an EIP-2930 access list that describes all storage slots and addresses accessed during a transaction simulation.

## Parameters
