eth_getTransactionReceipt

Returns the receipt of a transaction by transaction hash on Astar. Receipt is only available for mined transactions.

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_getTransactionReceipt method is essential for:

Transaction confirmation - Verify transaction was mined successfully
Gas analysis - Check actual gas used vs estimated
Event parsing - Read emitted events from logs
Status verification - Confirm success/failure for cross-chain DeFi, multi-VM smart contracts, and XCM-enabled interoperability with Ethereum and Cosmos
