EVM explorer

EvmExplorer provides methods for EVM-compatible networks like Ethereum. It queries data through the ChainGate API, offering richer responses than raw JSON-RPC (token balances, transaction history, network status, etc.).

import { ChainGate } from 'chaingate'

const cg = new ChainGate({ apiKey: 'your-api-key' })
const eth = cg.explore(cg.networks.ethereum)

Available methods

Method	Description
`getAddressBalance(address)`	Confirmed and unconfirmed balances
`getAddressHistory(address, page?)`	Paginated transaction history
`getAddressTokenBalances(address)`	ERC-20/ERC-721/ERC-1155 token balances
`getAddressTransactionCount(address)`	Transaction count (nonce)
`getTransactionDetails(txId)`	Full transaction details
`getLatestBlock()`	Latest block header
`getBlockByHeight(height)`	Fetch block by height
`getBlockByHash(hash)`	Fetch block by hash
`estimateGas(params)`	Estimate gas for a transaction
`getFeeRate()`	Current gas prices by tier (low/normal/high/maximum)
`getNetworkStatus()`	Real-time metrics: block time, EIP-1559 fees, congestion, costs
`broadcastTransaction(rawTx)`	Broadcast a signed raw transaction
`callSmartContract(params)`	Read-only smart contract call
`getTokenData(contractAddress)`	Token metadata (name, symbol, decimals)
`getTokenLogoUrl(contractAddress)`	Token logo URL
`getNftMetadata(contractAddress, tokenId)`	NFT metadata
`getNetworkLogoUrl()`	Network logo URL

Example

const eth = cg.explore(cg.networks.ethereum)

// Balance
const balance = await eth.getAddressBalance('0x...')
console.log('ETH balance:', balance.confirmed.base(), balance.confirmed.symbol)

// Token balances
const tokens = await eth.getAddressTokenBalances('0x...')
for (const token of tokens) {
  console.log(token.symbol, token.base())
}

// Network status
const status = await eth.getNetworkStatus()
console.log('Gas price:', status.baseFeeGwei, 'gwei')

// Read a smart contract
const result = await eth.callSmartContract({
  to: '0xContractAddress...',
  data: '0xEncodedCallData...',
})

// Token metadata
const tokenData = await eth.getTokenData('0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48')
console.log(tokenData.name)    // 'USD Coin'
console.log(tokenData.symbol)  // 'USDC'
