zks_gasPerPubdata - zkSync

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

Returns the scaled gas-per-pubdata limit for the currently open batch. The result is scaled by 1e18 to preserve precision. Use this value alongside gas limits and L1 calldata size in transaction fee calculations. Available since node version 28.7.0.

Parameters

• None

    .catch(error => console.log(error));

Python (Requests)

import requests

payload = json.dumps({
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "zks_gasPerPubdata",
    "params": [],
    "id": "getblock.io"

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=payload)
print(response.text)

Rust (Reqwest)

use reqwest::Client;
use serde_json::json;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let client = Client::new();

    let payload = json!({

Response Example

{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": "getblock.io",
    "result": "0x1"
}

Response Parameters

Field	Type	Description
result	string	Current gas cost per byte of pubdata, scaled by 1e18 (hex)

Use Cases

• Computing the pubdata component of transaction fees

• Building precise zkSync-aware fee oracles

• Backend fee budgeting for high-frequency apps

Error Handling

Status Code	Error Message	Cause
403	Forbidden	Missing or invalid <ACCESS-TOKEN>
429	Too Many Requests	Rate limit exceeded for your plan

SDK Integration

zksync-ethers (JavaScript)

import { Provider } from 'zksync-ethers';

const provider = new Provider('https://shared.eu-central-1.getblock.io/<ACCESS-TOKEN>/');

// zksync-ethers exposes both standard Ethereum methods and zks_* methods
// through typed accessors. For raw access:
const result = await provider.send('zks_gasPerPubdata', []);
console.log(result);

zksync2-python (Python)

from zksync2.module.module_builder import ZkSyncBuilder

zk_web3 = ZkSyncBuilder.build('https://shared.eu-central-1.getblock.io/<ACCESS-TOKEN>/')

# zksync2-python exposes the JSON-RPC layer directly.
result = zk_web3.zksync._zks_endpoints if 'zks_gasPerPubdata'.startswith('zks_') else None
# Or call any method generically:
result = zk_web3.provider.make_request('zks_gasPerPubdata', [])
print(result)
