eth_getTransactionByHash

Returns information about a transaction given its hash. Returns null for unknown transactions.

Parameters

Position	Name	Type	Description
1	transactionHash	string	The 32-byte transaction hash. Required.

Returns

result (object, or null if the transaction was not found):

Field	Type	Description
hash	string	32-byte transaction hash.
nonce	string	Number of transactions sent by the sender prior to this one (hex).
blockHash	string	32-byte hash of the block containing this transaction. null if pending.
blockNumber	string	Block number (hex). null if pending.
transactionIndex	string	Index position in the block (hex). null if pending.
from	string	20-byte sender address.
to	string	20-byte recipient address. null for contract deployments.
value	string	ETH value transferred in wei (hex).
gas	string	Gas provided by the sender (hex).
gasPrice	string	Gas price in wei. For EIP-1559 transactions, this is the effective gas price paid (hex).
maxFeePerGas	string	EIP-1559 maximum total fee per gas (hex). Present for type 0x2 transactions only; absent on type 0x7e.
maxPriorityFeePerGas	string	EIP-1559 maximum priority fee per gas (hex). Present for type 0x2 transactions only; absent on type 0x7e.
input	string	ABI-encoded call data. "0x" for plain ETH transfers.
type	string	Transaction type: "0x0" Legacy, "0x1" Access List, "0x2" EIP-1559, "0x7e" Deposit (L1→L2).
chainId	string	Chain ID the transaction is valid for. "0x2105" for Base Mainnet, "0x14a34" for Base Sepolia. Not present on type 0x7e.
accessList	array	List of addresses and storage keys pre-declared by the transaction (EIP-2930). Present for type 0x1 and 0x2 transactions.
v	string	ECDSA recovery ID (hex).
r	string	32-byte ECDSA signature component r (hex). Always "0x0" for type 0x7e.
s	string	32-byte ECDSA signature component s (hex). Always "0x0" for type 0x7e.
yParity	string	Signature parity (hex). Always "0x0" for type 0x7e deposits.
sourceHash	string	Identifies the deposit source (32-byte hex). Present on type 0x7e only.
mint	string	ETH minted on L2 as part of the deposit (hex), usually "0x0". Present on type 0x7e only.
depositReceiptVersion	string	Version of the deposit receipt format (hex). Present on type 0x7e only.

Base carries the Ethereum-standard transaction types — 0x0 legacy, 0x1 EIP-2930, 0x2 EIP-1559 — plus the OP Stack deposit type 0x7e. Deposits are injected by the sequencer at the top of each block: they omit the fee and signature fields a normal transaction carries (maxFeePerGas, accessList, chainId) and instead expose sourceHash, mint, depositReceiptVersion, and a zeroed yParity.
