Core Methods
Base uses the shared EVM JSON-RPC Methods catalog.
| Capability | Methods |
|---|---|
| Latest state | eth_chainId, eth_blockNumber, eth_call, eth_getBalance |
| Archive/proof | eth_getProof, old-block eth_getCode, old-block eth_getStorageAt |
| Logs | eth_getLogs, eth_getFilterLogs |
| Trace/debug | trace_block, trace_filter, trace_transaction, debug_traceCall, debug_traceTransaction |
Archive and trace methods require a route with matching provider capability.
