MegaETH nodes use a ~15-day pruning window for historical state data. Querying the transaction count at a block older than ~15 days (1,296,064 blocks) may fail because the required account history has been pruned. For more details, see the MegaETH Pruning Policy.

Parameters

address

string

REQUIRED

The address from which the transaction count to be checked

blockNumber

string

REQUIRED

The block number as a string in hexadecimal format or tags. The supported tag values include earliest for the earliest/genesis block, latest for the latest mined block, pending for the pending state/transactions, safe for the most recent secure block, and finalized for the most recent secure block accepted by more than 2/3 of validators. safe and finalized are only supported on Ethereum, Gnosis, Arbitrum, Arbitrum Nova, and Avalanche C-chain

Returns

result

string

The integer of the number of transactions sent from an address encoded as hexadecimal
