eth_estimateGas - MegaETH RPC Method

Estimates the gas necessary to execute a transaction on MegaETH.

Why MegaETH? Build on the first real-time blockchain with sub-millisecond latency and 100,000+ TPS with sub-millisecond transaction streaming with 100,000+ sustained TPS and full EVM compatibility.

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 high-frequency trading, real-time gaming, instant payments, and latency-sensitive applications

Gas Limit Restriction

For transactions requiring more than 10M gas:

// Split complex operations into multiple transactions
const operation1 = await contract.step1();
await operation1.wait();

const operation2 = await contract.step2();
await operation2.wait();

Code Examples

Error Handling

Tip: If estimation fails, the transaction would likely revert if sent.
