• Geth JSON-RPC Namespaces

Ethereum Namespaces

Namespace	Description	Supported	Enabled by Default
eth	Cronos provides several extensions to the standard eth JSON-RPC namespace.	✔	✔
web3	The web3 API provides utility functions for the web3 client.	✔	✔
net	The net API provides access to network information of the node	✔	✔
clique	The clique API provides access to the state of the clique consensus engine. You can use this API to manage signer votes and to check the health of a private network.	❌
debug	The debug API gives you access to several non-standard RPC methods, which will allow you to inspect, debug and set certain debugging flags during runtime.	✔
les	The les API allows you to manage LES server settings, including client parameters and payment settings for prioritized clients. It also provides functions to query checkpoint information in both server and client mode.	❌
miner	The miner API allows you to remote control the node’s mining operation and set various mining specific settings.	✔	❌
txpool	The txpool API gives you access to several non-standard RPC methods to inspect the contents of the transaction pool containing all the currently pending transactions as well as the ones queued for future processing.	✔	❌
admin	The admin API gives you access to several non-standard RPC methods, which will allow you to have a fine grained control over your nodeinstance, including but not limited to network peer and RPC endpoint management.	❌
personal	The personal API manages private keys in the key store.	✔	❌
