}

eth_getStorageAt

Returns the value from a storage position at a given address.

Parameters

DATA, 20 Bytes - address of the storage.
QUANTITY - integer of the position in the storage.
QUANTITY|TAG|MAP - integer block number, or the string "latest", "earliest" or "pending", see the default block parameter, or a map containing a block hash string, under the key "blockHash" or a string hexadecimal number, under the key "blockNumber".

Returns

DATA - the value at this storage position (A 32-byte zero value is returned for non-existing keys).

Example

Calculating the correct position depends on the storage to retrieve. Consider the following contract deployed at 0x295a70b2de5e3953354a6a8344e616ed314d7251 by address 0x391694e7e0b0cce554cb130d723a9d27458f9298.

contract Storage {
    uint pos0;
    mapping(address => uint) pos1;

    function Storage() {
        pos0 = 1234;
        pos1[msg.sender] = 5678;
    }
}

Retrieving the value of pos0 is straight forward:

curl -X POST --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0", "method": "eth_getStorageAt", "params": ["0x295a70b2de5e3953354a6a8344e616ed314d7251", "0x0", "latest"], "id": 1}' localhost:8545

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"result":"0x00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000004d2"}

Retrieving an element of the map is harder. The position of an element in the map is calculated with:

keccack(LeftPad32(key, 0), LeftPad32(map position, 0))

This means to retrieve the storage on pos1["0x391694e7e0b0cce554cb130d723a9d27458f9298"] we need to calculate the position with:

keccak(
  decodeHex(
    "000000000000000000000000391694e7e0b0cce554cb130d723a9d27458f9298" +
      "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001"
  )
);

The geth console which comes with the web3 library can be used to make the calculation:

> var key = "000000000000000000000000391694e7e0b0cce554cb130d723a9d27458f9298" + "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001"
undefined
> web3.sha3(key, {"encoding": "hex"})
"0x6661e9d6d8b923d5bbaab1b96e1dd51ff6ea2a93520fdc9eb75d059238b8c5e9"

Now to fetch the storage:

curl -X POST --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0", "method": "eth_getStorageAt", "params": ["0x295a70b2de5e3953354a6a8344e616ed314d7251", "0x6661e9d6d8b923d5bbaab1b96e1dd51ff6ea2a93520fdc9eb75d059238b8c5e9", "latest"], "id": 1}' localhost:8545

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"result":"0x000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000162e"}

eth_sign

The sign method calculates an Ethereum specific signature with: sign(keccak256("\x19Ethereum Signed Message:\n" + len(message) + message))).

By adding a prefix to the message makes the calculated signature recognisable as an Ethereum specific signature. This prevents misuse where a malicious DApp can sign arbitrary data (e.g. transaction) and use the signature to impersonate the victim.

Note the address to sign with must be unlocked.

Parameters

account, message

DATA, 20 Bytes - address.
DATA, N Bytes - message to sign.

Returns

DATA: Signature

Example

// Request
curl -X POST --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_sign","params":["0x9b2055d370f73ec7d8a03e965129118dc8f5bf83", "0xdeadbeaf"],"id":1}'

   "jsonrpc":"2.0",
   "id":1,
   "error":{

      "message":"VM Exception while processing transaction: revert reason",
      "data":"0x08c379a..."
   }
}

eth_estimateGas

Generates and returns an estimate of how much gas is necessary to allow the transaction to complete. The transaction will not be added to the blockchain. Note that the estimate may be significantly more than the amount of gas actually used by the transaction, for a variety of reasons including EVM mechanics and node performance.

Note that when eth_estimateGas is called, the node simulates the transaction execution without broadcasting it to the network. The simulation runs through the entire transaction process as if it were being executed, including checking for sufficient balance, contract code execution, etc. During the simulation, the method calculates the exact amount of gas that would be consumed by the transaction if it were to be executed on the blockchain. The estimated gas amount is returned, helping users set an appropriate gas limit for the actual transaction.

There is a difference in Rootstock compared to Ethereum, and it is that if one of the steps of the simulated transaction fails, the node will return the gas estimation needed for the transaction, while on Ethereum, the node will return an error instead of the gas estimation.

You can see this behavior on the following example, where we call eth_estimateGas for a transaction that would be executed from an address without enough balance.

Example:

{
    "jsonrpc":"2.0",
    "method":"eth_estimateGas",
    "params":[
        {"from": "0xb60e8dd61c5d32be8058bb8eb970870f07233155",
        "to": "0xd46e8dd67c5d32be8058bb8eb970870f07244567",
        "gas": "0x76c0",
        "gasPrice": "0x9184e72a000",
        "value": "0x9184e72a",
        "data": "0xd46e8dd67c5d32be8d46e8dd67c5d32be8058bb8eb970870f072445675058bb8eb970870f072445675"},
        "latest"
    ],
    "id":0
}

Response on Rootstock:

{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 0,
    "result": "0x5498"
}

Response on Ethereum:

{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 0,
    "error": {
        "code": -32000,
        "message": "insufficient funds for transfer"
    }
}

Parameters

See eth_call parameters, expect that all properties are optional. If no gas limit is specified geth uses the block gas limit from the pending block as an upper bound. As a result the returned estimate might not be enough to executed the call/transaction when the amount of gas is higher than the pending block gas limit.

Returns

QUANTITY - the amount of gas used.

Example

// Request
curl -X POST --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_estimateGas","params":[{see above}],"id":1}'

// Result
{
  "id":1,
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "result": "0x5208" // 21000
}

eth_newFilter

Creates a filter object, based on filter options, to notify when the state changes (logs). To check if the state has changed, call eth_getFilterChanges.

A note on specifying topic filters:

Topics are order-dependent. A transaction with a log with topics [A, B] will be matched by the following topic filters:

[] "anything"
[A] "A in first position (and anything after)"
[null, B] "anything in first position AND B in second position (and anything after)"
[A, B] "A in first position AND B in second position (and anything after)"
[[A, B], [A, B]] "(A OR B) in first position AND (A OR B) in second position (and anything after)"

Parameters

Object - The filter options:

fromBlock: QUANTITY|TAG - (optional, default: "latest") Integer block number, or "latest" for the last mined block or "pending", "earliest" for not yet mined transactions.
toBlock: QUANTITY|TAG - (optional, default: "latest") Integer block number, or "latest" for the last mined block or "pending", "earliest" for not yet mined transactions.
address: DATA|Array, 20 Bytes - (optional) Contract address or a list of addresses from which logs should originate.
topics: Array of DATA, - (optional) Array of 32 Bytes DATA topics. Topics are order-dependent. Each topic can also be an array of DATA with "or" options.

eth_getLogs

Returns an array of all logs matching a given filter object.

Parameters

Object - The filter options:

fromBlock: QUANTITY|TAG - (optional, default: "latest") Integer block number, or "latest" for the last mined block or "pending", "earliest" for not yet mined transactions.
toBlock: QUANTITY|TAG - (optional, default: "latest") Integer block number, or "latest" for the last mined block or "pending", "earliest" for not yet mined transactions.
address: DATA|Array, 20 Bytes - (optional) Contract address or a list of addresses from which logs should originate.
topics: Array of DATA, - (optional) Array of 32 Bytes DATA topics. Topics are order-dependent. Each topic can also be an array of DATA with "or" options.
blockhash: DATA, 32 Bytes - (optional) With the addition of EIP-234 (Geth >= v1.8.13 or Parity >= v2.1.0), blockHash is a new filter option which restricts the logs returned to the single block with the 32-byte hash blockHash. Using blockHash is equivalent to fromBlock = toBlock = the block number with hash blockHash. If blockHash is present in the filter criteria, then neither fromBlock nor toBlock are allowed.

Example Parameters

params: [
