Hi everyone. If you attended today’s Global R&D, then you heard that DFINITY is working on a managed Ethereum RPC canister as a service to help you build Ethereum integrations into your dapps. We are still working out the details of the API and would love to get your feedback. Please let us know wh…

No timeline at the moment. But we will keep the community informed as things progress.

Hi everyone! :wave: I would like to share some updates regarding the next release of the EVM-RPC canister that is planned for the next quarter. Improve Security The current release requires some strong trust assumptions regarding the principal that owns a provider (identified by Provider::owner ), …

Hi everyone! :wave: Quick heads-up: after a few weeks of developments, we are finally able to propose to re-install the EVM RPC canister with the aforementioned improvements :partying_face:. See proposal 133448 .

Where can we find details about this: Added a new convenience method for eth_call to allow calling read-only functions of a smart contract.

HI @skilesare There is an example here . Note that eth_call is a standard Ethereum JSON-RPC endpoint, so you may also find more details on Ethereum-specific sources, such as How to Look Up Wallet Balance of an ERC20 Token using RPC API | QuickNode .

Is there any specific cost/compute/feature advantage to just calling request and parsing the data as we had to do previously(for easy things like checking an owner, etc). let json = "{ \"jsonrpc\": \"2.0\", \"method\": \"eth_call\", \"params\": [ { \"to…

Is there a specific identity we need to use to register a custom provider: dfx canister call evm_rpc registerProvider '(record { cyclesPerCall = 10000000; credentialPath = ""; hostname = "localhost"; credentialHeaders = null; chainId = 31337; cyclesPerMessageByte = 1000000})' I’m just …

Hi @skilesare ! Is there any specific cost/compute/feature advantage to just calling request and parsing the data as we had to do previously(for easy things like checking an owner, etc) The eth_call method does provide the following advantages in terms of features (similarly to the other eth.* c…

Ahhh…nice. Ok…hmmm…it sure would be nice to have a local test method. I guess I can intercept and proxy one of the established methods and reroute it locally but that seems very hacky. Any other good testing strategies. I’d like to be able to test my workflows without having to ship arbitrum, eth, …

I guess I can intercept and proxy one of the established methods and reroute it locally but that seems very hacky. I’m not sure what you’re trying to do, but with Custom provider you should be able to route your calls to localhost if you want to, e.g. dfx canister --ic call evm_rpc eth_getTransa…
