# eth\_getProof - Optimism

This method returns the account information (balance, nonce, codeHash, storageHash) along with Merkle proofs that can be used to verify the data against the state root. It also returns proofs for specified storage keys. This is essential for light clients and cross-chain verification, enabling trustless verification of account and storage state.

### Parameters

| address     | DATA, 20 Bytes | The address to get proof for.                            | Yes      |
| storageKeys | Array          | Array of storage keys to get proofs for.                 | Yes      |
| block       | QUANTITY\|TAG  | Block number in hex, or 'latest', 'earliest', 'pending'. | Yes      |
