# web3_sha3

POST https://rpc.plume.org/YOUR_API_KEY
Content-Type: application/json

Returns the Keccak-256 hash of the given hex-encoded data. Despite the name `sha3`, this returns Keccak-256 — the variant standardized into Ethereum — not the later NIST-standardized SHA3-256. Useful for computing function selectors, event topic hashes, EIP-191/EIP-712 personal-sign digests, and any other Keccak-256 dependent value.

⚡ Compute Units: [15 CU](https://docs.conduit.xyz/rpc-nodes/information/compute-units)

## Response

### 200

Keccak-256 hash of the input data, hex-encoded
