eth_estimateGas - Boba Network RPC Method
Estimate gas required for transactions on Boba Network. Essential for optimizing transaction costs for AI-powered dApps, Web2 API integration, enterprise blockchain solutions, and offchain computation.
Estimates the gas necessary to execute a transaction on Boba Network.
Why Boba Network? Build on the Hybrid Compute L2 enabling smart contracts to access AI models and Web2 APIs natively with HybridCompute 2.0 for native AI/API access, $70M ecosystem funding, OP Stack compatibility, and two-way offchain integration.
Use Cases
The eth_estimateGas method is essential for:
- Transaction preparation - Set appropriate gas limits
- Cost estimation - Calculate transaction costs before sending
- Error detection - Identify reverts before spending gas
- DeFi operations - Estimate costs for AI-powered dApps, Web2 API integration, enterprise blockchain solutions, and offchain computation
Code Examples
Error Handling
| Error Code | Message | Description |
|---|---|---|
| -32000 | Execution reverted | Transaction would fail |
| -32602 | Invalid params | Invalid transaction parameters |
Tip: If estimation fails, the transaction would likely revert if sent.
