Eth

These methods are used for Ethereum-compatible JSON-RPC calls

EthAccounts will always return [] since we don't expect Lotus to manage private keys

EthAddressToFilecoinAddress

EthAddressToFilecoinAddress converts an EthAddress into an f410 Filecoin Address

Perms: read

Inputs:

["0x5cbeecf99d3fdb3f25e309cc264f240bb0664031"]

Response: "f01234"

FilecoinAddressToEthAddress

FilecoinAddressToEthAddress converts any Filecoin address to an EthAddress.

This method supports all Filecoin address types:

  • f0 and f4 addresses: Converted directly.

  • f1/f2/f3 addresses: First converted to their corresponding f0 ID address, then to an 0x EthAddress.

Note:

f0 ID addresses are not permanent and can be affected by chain reorganizations. To account for this, the API includes a blkNum parameter, which specifies the block number that is used to determine the tipset state to use for converting an f1/f2/f3 address to an f0 address. This parameter functions similarly to the blkNum parameter in the existing EthGetBlockByNumber API. See Alchemy Docs - eth_getBlockByNumber for more details.

Requirements:

  • For f1/f2/f3 addresses, they must be instantiated on-chain, as f0 ID addresses are only assigned to actors when they are created on-chain. The simplest way to instantiate an address on chain is to send a transaction to the address.

Parameters:

  • filecoinAddress: The Filecoin address to convert.

  • blkNum: The block number or state for the conversion. Defaults to "finalized" for maximum safety. Possible values: "pending", "latest", "finalized", "safe", or a specific block number represented as hex.
