eth_estimateGas - Manta RPC Method
Estimate gas required for transactions on Manta Pacific. Essential for optimizing transaction costs for ZK-enabled DeFi, private identity verification, and modular ZK applications via Universal Circuits.
Estimates the gas necessary to execute a transaction on Manta Pacific.
Why Manta? Build on the modular ZK L2 with Celestia DA delivering the lowest fees for 200+ dApps with first L2 on Celestia mainnet, ZK-as-a-Service via Universal Circuits, Polygon CDK integration, and modular OP Stack architecture.
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 ZK-enabled DeFi, private identity verification, and modular ZK applications via Universal Circuits
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.
