Network Endpoints

The XDC Network is a robust, enterprise-grade blockchain platform designed for decentralized finance (DeFi), global trade, and other high-demand applications. For developers and users interacting with the XDC Network, the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) interface is a critical component. This guide provides a detailed overview of the RPC endpoints for both the XDC Mainnet and the Apothem Testnet, including their specifications and usage.

What is RPC?

Remote Procedure Call (RPC) is a protocol that allows communication between a client and a server over a network. In the context of blockchain, RPC is used to interact with the blockchain network by sending requests to full nodes. These requests can include reading blockchain data, creating and broadcasting transactions, and deploying smart contracts.

module txpool

txpool_content

The content method lists the exact details of all the transactions currently pending for inclusion in the next block(s), as well as the ones that are being scheduled for future execution only.

The result is an object with two fields pending and queued. Each of these fields are associative arrays, in which each entry maps an origin-address to a batch of scheduled transactions. These batches themselves are maps associating nonces with actual transactions.

Please note, there may be multiple transactions associated with the same account and nonce. This can happen if the user broadcast multiple ones with varying gas allowances (or even completely different transactions).

Parameters:

None

Returns:

result: ojbect

Example:

Request:

curl -s -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" ${RPC} -d '{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1001,
  "method": "txpool_content"

}

txpool_inspect

The inspect lists a textual summary of all the transactions currently pending for inclusion in the next block(s), as well as the ones that are being scheduled for future execution only. This is a method specifically tailored to developers to quickly see the transactions in the pool and find any potential issues.

The result is an object with two fields pending and queued. Each of these fields are associative arrays, in which each entry maps an origin-address to a batch of scheduled transactions. These batches themselves are maps associating nonces with transactions summary strings.

Please note, there may be multiple transactions associated with the same account and nonce. This can happen if the user broadcast multiple ones with varying gas allowances (or even completely different transactions).

Parameters:

None

Returns:

result: ojbect
