}The Solana
minimumLedgerSlot method returns the lowest slot that the node has information about in its ledger.
As validators prune old ledger data, this value increases over time. This method is useful for determining how far back in history a node can serve data.
Get your own node endpoint todayStart for free and get your app to production levels immediately. No credit card required.You can sign up with your GitHub, X, Google, or Microsoft account.
Parameters
This method does not require any parameters.Response
result(integer) — the minimum ledger slot number available on the node.
Use case
A common use case forminimumLedgerSlot is in determining whether a node can serve historical data for a given slot. Before requesting block or transaction data for a specific slot, you can check minimumLedgerSlot to verify the data is still available. This is especially relevant when deciding between a full node and an archive node.Last modified on June 22, 2026
