eth_hashrate

Returns the number of hashes per second that the node is mining with on Optimism Layer 2. Always returns 0 as Optimism uses a sequencer model.

Implementation Examples

cURL

curl -X POST https://api-optimism-mainnet-archive.n.dwellir.com/YOUR_API_KEY \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "eth_hashrate",
    "params": [],
    "id": 1
  }'

JavaScript

const response = await fetch('https://api-optimism-mainnet-archive.n.dwellir.com/YOUR_API_KEY', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    jsonrpc: '2.0',
    method: 'eth_hashrate',
    params: [],
    id: 1
  })
});

const data = await response.json();
console.log('Hashrate:', parseInt(data.result, 16)); // Always 0 on Optimism

Response Example

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "result": "0x0"
}

Note: Optimism uses a sequencer model for block production, not proof-of-work mining, so hashrate is always 0.
