# eth\_getStorageAt - Monad

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

This method returns the value from a storage position at a given address.

## Parameters

| ----------- | ------ | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| address     | string | Yes      | The address of the storage.                                                   |
| position    | string | Yes      | The storage position (hex).                                                   |
| blockNumber | string | No       | Block number in hex, or "latest", "earliest", "pending", "safe", "finalized". |

## Response

```json
{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": "getblock.io",
    "result": "0x000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000a"
}
```

## Response Parameters

| Field  | Type   | Description                                                |
| ------ | ------ | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| result | string | The value at the storage position (32 bytes, hex encoded). |

## Calculating Storage Slots

For mappings and dynamic arrays, use keccak256 to calculate the slot:

{% code title="calculate-slot.js" %}

```javascript
import { ethers } from 'ethers';

// For mapping: mapping(address => uint256)
// Storage slot = keccak256(abi.encode(key, mappingSlot))
const key = '0x742d35Cc6634C0532925a3b844Bc9e7595f0bEb';
const mappingSlot = 0; // First state variable

const slot = ethers.keccak256(
    ethers.AbiCoder.defaultAbiCoder().encode(
        ['address', 'uint256'],
        [key, mappingSlot]
    )
);
```

{% endcode %}

## Use Case

The `eth_getStorageAt` method is essential for:

* Reading contract state directly
* Analyzing contract storage layout
* Security auditing
* Verifying contract state without ABI
* Debugging contract behavior
* Historical state analysis

## Error Handling

| Status Code | Error Message      | Cause                               |
| ----------- | ------------------ | ----------------------------------- |
| 403         | Forbidden          | Missing or invalid ACCESS-TOKEN.    |
| -32602      | Invalid params     | Invalid address or position format. |
| -32000      | Resource not found | Block not found.                    |

## Web3 Integration

console.log('Slot 0:', value);

// Read specific slot
const slot = '0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001';
