rpc_modules - Boba Network RPC Method
Inspect which JSON-RPC namespaces are enabled on your Boba Network endpoint. Useful for capability checks, client diagnostics, and RPC feature discovery.
Returns the enabled JSON-RPC namespaces exposed by the connected Boba Network endpoint together with their version strings.
Non-standard method.
rpc_modulesis a client-introspection RPC that is commonly available on Geth-compatible stacks, but it is not part of the core Ethereum Execution API method set. Availability varies by client and operator policy.
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.
When to Use This Method
rpc_modules is useful for AI dApp developers, enterprise integration teams, and builders requiring offchain compute access:
- Capability Discovery — Detect whether namespaces like
debug,trace,txpool, orerigonare exposed before attempting those calls - Client Diagnostics — Verify what the serving node has enabled when debugging environment-specific issues
- Infrastructure Audits — Compare public and private endpoints to confirm which RPC surfaces are intentionally exposed
- Runtime Feature Gating — Adjust tooling behavior dynamically based on the actual namespaces available on a node
Request Parameters
This method accepts no parameters.
Response Body
Object whose keys are enabled namespaces and whose values are version strings

eth_protocolVersion
Get the current Ethereum protocol version on Boba Network. Useful for client compatibility checks and identifying version-gated features.
eth_mining
Check the legacy eth_mining compatibility method on Boba Network. Public endpoints often return a client-specific unsupported-method response instead of a boolean.
