eth_estimateGas - Ethereum

post
https://{ethereum-network}.gateway.tatum.io/

The eth_estimateGas method in Ethereum's JSON-RPC API is used to estimate the amount of gas that would be required to execute a transaction without actually sending it. This method is particularly useful for determining the appropriate gas limit for a transaction before it is submitted to the network, helping to avoid out-of-gas errors and ensuring that transactions are processed efficiently.

The transaction call object

string

20 Bytes - The address the transaction is sent from.

string
required
Defaults to 0xd46e8dd67c5d32be8058bb8eb970870f07244567

20 Bytes - The address the transaction is directed to

string
Defaults to 0x0

Hex string of the integer of gas provided for the transaction execution. eth_call consumes zero gas, but this parameter may be needed by some executions.
NOTE: this parameter has a cap of 550 Million gas per request. Reach out to us at [email protected] if you want to increase this limit!

string
Defaults to 0x9184e72a000

Hex string of the integer of gasPrice used for each paid gas.
NOTE: most of our users (95%+) never set the gasPrice on eth_call.

string
Defaults to 0x0

Hex string of the integer of value sent with this transaction

string
Defaults to 0x
