Account nonce
GET /api/chain/nonceThe transaction count of an account, which is the nonce its next transaction must carry. Ask for block "pending" to include transactions already in the mempool, which is what you want before signing; the default "latest" counts only mined transactions. Returns the count as a decimal string and as hex. EVM chains: ethereum, base, polygon, arbitrum, optimism.
Input
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
address * | string | 0x account address |
network | string | ethereum | base | polygon | arbitrum | optimism (default base) |
block | string | latest (default), pending, earliest, safe, finalized, or a block number. Use "pending" for the nonce of a transaction you are about to send. |
