JSON-RPC Reference

eth_getAccount

Returns the account state object as it lives in the state trie: balance, nonce, codeHash, and storageRoot. Use `eth_getCode` to retrieve the full code by codeHash, and `eth_getStorageAt` to retrieve individual storage slots — this method does not return the full code or storage map. ⚡ Compute Units: [10 CU](https://docs.conduit.xyz/rpc-nodes/information/compute-units)
