API Reference

klay_estimateComputationCost

Generates and returns an estimate of how much computation cost will be spent to execute the transaction.

Klaytn limits the computation cost of a transaction to 100000000 currently not to take too much time by a single transaction.
The transaction will not be added to the blockchain like klay_estimateGas.

📘

Supported on Klaytn (mainnet) only.

Parameters

Request

See klay_call parameters, except that all properties are optional.
If no gas limit is specified, the Klaytn node uses the default gas limit (uint64 / 2) as an upper bound.

Result

TypeDescription
QUANTITYThe amount of computation cost used.
