​
Parameters

  • address — the address of the account.
  • storageKeys — an array of storage keys to prove.
  • block — the block number (in hexadecimal) or one of the strings "earliest", "latest", or "pending", indicating the state to consider. The default is "latest".

​
Response

  • result — an object containing the account proof, balance, code hash, nonce, storage hash, and storage proof for each requested storage key.

​
Use case

The eth_getProof method is essential for:

  • Applications that need to verify account or contract state without syncing the entire blockchain.
  • Services that provide cryptographic proofs of specific data to third parties.
  • Tools that audit the state of accounts or contracts at specific block heights.
