# eth_getTransactionCount | Hyperliquid EVM

> Returns the number of transactions sent from an address (the nonce).

<Info>
  This method is available on Chainstack. Not all Hyperliquid methods are available on Chainstack, as the open-source node implementation does not support them yet — see [Hyperliquid methods](/docs/hyperliquid-methods) for the full availability breakdown.
</Info>

Returns the number of transactions sent from an address (the nonce). This is essential for creating new transactions with the correct nonce value.

## Parameters

* `address` (string, required) — The 20-byte account address
* `block` (string, required) — Block identifier: `"latest"` (only the latest block is supported on Hyperliquid)

## Returns

Returns the transaction count (nonce) as a hexadecimal string.

<Note>
  On Hyperliquid, only the `"latest"` block parameter is supported for this method. The `"pending"` state is not supported on the default RPC.
</Note>

## Use cases

* **Transaction creation** — Get the correct nonce for new transactions
* **Wallet applications** — Manage transaction ordering and nonce assignment
* **Account monitoring** — Track account activity and transaction frequency
* **Batch operations** — Create multiple transactions with sequential nonces
* **Transaction replacement** — Replace stuck transactions using the same nonce
* **Smart contract deployment** — Calculate contract addresses using deployer nonce
