rpc_modules - Linea RPC Method
Inspect which JSON-RPC namespaces are enabled on your Linea endpoint. Useful for capability checks, client diagnostics, and RPC feature discovery.
Returns the enabled JSON-RPC namespaces exposed by the connected Linea 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 Linea? Build on Consensys-backed zkEVM L2 with $1B+ TVL and 807% growth in 2025 with 15-30x lower fees than Ethereum mainnet, 6,200 TPS throughput, SWIFT integration with 12+ institutions, and $725M Consensys backing.
When to Use This Method
rpc_modules is useful for enterprise developers, DeFi builders, and teams seeking Consensys ecosystem integration:
- 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
