eth_getBlockReceipts - Ethereum RPC Method
Return every transaction receipt in a block on Ethereum. Useful for indexers, analytics pipelines, and event backfills across DeFi protocols (60% market share), NFT marketplaces, DAOs, and enterprise dApps.
Returns all transaction receipts for a block on Ethereum. This is more efficient than calling eth_getTransactionReceipt once per transaction when you already know the target block.
