state_getStorage

Returns a storage entry at a specific key on Hydration.

Why Hydration? Build on Polkadot's leading DEX with $200M+ TVL, Omnipool AMM, and native HOLLAR stablecoin with Omnipool with reduced slippage, permissioned listings, 3M DOT DAO allocation, and 200%+ APR farm yields.

Use Cases

• State queries - Read on-chain storage values
• Account balances - Query account data for single-sided liquidity provision, cross-chain trading (SOL, KSM, tBTC), and HOLLAR decentralized stablecoin
• Pallet storage - Access runtime storage items
• Historical state - Query state at specific blocks

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
key	String	Yes	Storage key (hex-encoded)
blockHash	String	No	Block hash for historical query
