eth_getCode - Astar RPC Method
Get contract bytecode on Astar. Essential for verifying smart contracts for cross-chain DeFi, multi-VM smart contracts, and XCM-enabled interoperability with Ethereum and Cosmos.
Returns the bytecode at a given address on Astar.
Why Astar? Build on Polkadot's leading dApp hub supporting EVM, WASM, and upcoming PolkaVM environments with EVM + WASM + PolkaVM support, Build2Earn developer rewards, dApp Staking, and Soneium cross-layer integration.
Use Cases
The eth_getCode method is essential for:
- Contract verification - Check if address is a contract
- Security analysis - Verify deployed bytecode matches expected
- DeFi integrations - Validate contracts before interactions
- Protocol analysis - Analyze contract deployments for cross-chain DeFi, multi-VM smart contracts, and XCM-enabled interoperability with Ethereum and Cosmos
