This page provides an overview of the available methods on the Chainstack Optimism nodes. Go ahead an try the interactive examples as well.
The table has three columns:
- Method — method name.
- Availability — out of the box on a trader or global node, or on request on a dedicated node since it requires customization.
The list may not be comprehensive but serves as guidance. In general, if the method is available in
op-gethor inop-erigonand it's aneth_method, then it's available on your Chainstack node.If there's a method missing, you are unsure, or just have any questions, talk to us. We love talking to developers 💙🛠️.
