Code Examples

cURL

curl -X POST  \

    "params": ["0x68656c6c6f"],
    "id": 1
  }'

JavaScript

import { JsonRpcProvider, keccak256, toUtf8Bytes } from 'ethers';

const provider = new JsonRpcProvider('');

// Using RPC
const hash = await provider.send('web3_sha3', ['0x68656c6c6f']);
console.log('Hash:', hash);

// Using ethers directly (faster)
const localHash = keccak256(toUtf8Bytes('hello'));
console.log('Local hash:', localHash);
