eth_getBlockReceipts - Optimism RPC Method

Return every transaction receipt in a block on Optimism. Useful for indexers, analytics pipelines, and event backfills across cross-chain DeFi, Superchain-interoperable dApps, and public goods funding recipients.

Returns all transaction receipts for a block on Optimism. This is more efficient than calling eth_getTransactionReceipt once per transaction when you already know the target block.

Why Optimism? Build on the heart of the Superchain powering 60%+ of Ethereum L2 transactions with $6B+ TVL with OP Stack modularity, Superchain interoperability, 17M+ daily transactions across 33 chains, and 20% of tokens for public goods.

When to Use This Method

eth_getBlockReceipts is useful for L2 builders, DeFi developers, and teams launching Superchain-compatible apps:

  • Indexer Backfills — Pull every receipt in a block with one request instead of looping over transaction hashes
  • Event Collection — Scan all logs emitted by a block when building analytics or data pipelines
  • Settlement Auditing — Verify every transaction outcome in a target block for cross-chain DeFi, Superchain-interoperable dApps, and public goods funding recipients
  • Operational Debugging — Compare receipt-level gas usage, status, and logs across multiple transactions at once
