The method set available on the public endpoints, measured against them rather than copied from a client's feature list.
Endpoints
| Transport | URL |
|---|---|
| HTTPS | https://rpc.aere.network, https://rpc2.aere.network |
| WebSocket | wss://wss.aere.network, wss://api.aere.network/ws |
Subscriptions live on the WebSocket endpoints. eth_subscribe is not available over HTTPS, which is the normal split for a JSON-RPC endpoint.
Available
| Method | Notes |
|---|---|
eth_blockNumber | |
eth_chainId | Returns 0xaf0 |
eth_getBlockByNumber, eth_getBlockByHash | |
eth_getBlockReceipts | |
eth_getTransactionByHash, eth_getTransactionReceipt | |
eth_getTransactionCount | Inside the 512-block state window only; older heights are refused |
eth_getBalance, eth_getCode, eth_getStorageAt | |
eth_getProof | The correct way to prove an account fact |
eth_call, eth_estimateGas, eth_createAccessList | |
eth_sendRawTransaction | |
eth_getLogs | |
eth_gasPrice, eth_maxPriorityFeePerGas, eth_feeHistory | Report the floor correctly |
eth_subscribe, eth_unsubscribe | WebSocket only |
net_version, net_peerCount | |
web3_clientVersion, web3_sha3 | |
txpool_status | rpc.aere.network only; rpc2.aere.network refuses it with -32604 |
qbft_getValidatorsByBlockNumber | The correct way to read the validator set |
qbft_getSignerMetrics | Which validators actually produced blocks over a range |
Not available on the public endpoints
| Namespace | Why it matters |
|---|---|
debug_ | No debug_traceTransaction. Tracing needs your own node. |
trace_ | No trace_block or trace_transaction. |
admin_ | No peer list, no enode. Operational surface is not exposed. |
If your workflow needs tracing, run your own node: the package and options are published. See Run a node.
Two behaviours to design around
State reads outside the state window are refused. The public endpoints keep state for 512 blocks; older heights answer -32000 World state unavailable (eth_call: -32603), measured on 2026-10-15. Earlier, eth_getTransactionCount there returned a false 0x0 instead of an error, so code written against that should treat an error as "not answerable here", never as zero. Use eth_getProof inside the window for anything you rely on.
An eth_call that returns empty data means that selector is not present. It does not mean the capability is absent. Prove a capability positively, from bytecode.
Checking this page
This table was produced by calling each method against the public endpoint and recording whether it answered, returned a parameter error, or reported that the method does not exist. You can repeat that check in a loop; a method that reports a parameter error is present, a method that reports it does not exist is not.
