eth_getProof - opBNB

Example code for the eth_getProof JSON-RPC method. Сomplete guide on how to use eth_getProof JSON-RPC in GetBlock.io Web3 documentation.

This method returns the Merkle-Patricia proof for an account, along with optional storage keys. Use it to prove the account state to a light client or another chain.

Parameters

Type
Required
Description

address

storageKeys

array of string

Yes

Array of 32-byte storage slot keys to include in the proof (may be empty)

blockParameter

string

Yes

Block number in hex, or "latest", "earliest", "pending", "safe", "finalized"
