eth_getTransactionReceipt

eth_getTransactionReceipt JSON-RPC reference for MegaETH.

Summary

Returns a transaction receipt by hash.

The public MegaETH endpoint supports this method. The standard, node, and gateway layers below identify behavior that differs from a generic Ethereum endpoint.

Parameters

transactionHash Hash32 REQUIRED

Hash of the target transaction.

Result

Receipt | null — null when the transaction is unknown or not yet mined.

• transactionHash Hash32

  Transaction hash.
• status Quantity

  A nonzero status indicates success; zero indicates that execution reverted.
• blockHash Hash32

  Containing block hash.
• blockNumber Quantity

  Containing block number.
• from Address

  Sender.
• to Address | null

  Recipient; null for contract creation.
• gasUsed Quantity

  Gas consumed by this transaction.
• effectiveGasPrice Quantity

  Effective gas price.
• contractAddress Address | null

  Created contract address when applicable.
• logs Log[]

  Emitted log entries.

Additional fields include cumulativeGasUsed, logsBloom, type, and L1 fee fields (l1Fee, l1GasPrice, l1GasUsed, etc.).

Comparison with Ethereum Standard JSON-RPC

Ethereum Standard

The canonical Ethereum method uses the parameter and result contract documented above, including the stated null, false, or zero-value semantics where applicable.

MegaETH Node Behavior

The node returns null until a receipt is visible. Receipts produced from a real-time mini-block may temporarily use the all-ff block-hash placeholder until the EVM block seals.

MegaETH Public Gateway

The gateway first checks its receipt cache, forwards misses upstream, and caches non-null receipts for 30 minutes. A null result is not cached.

Errors

The | Scope | column distinguishes method failures from gateway policy errors.

Code	Scope	Message	When it happens
-32602	Request	Invalid params	Transaction hash is missing or malformed
-32005	Transport/policy	Rate limit exceeded	The caller exceeds the public gateway's simple read budget.
-32099	Transport/policy	Payload too large	The request body exceeds the 128 KiB public endpoint limit.
