net_version
POST
https://triport.io/rpc/bscReturn the decimal network identifier.
BNB Smart Chainbsc:rpcbsc_read_rpc - 15 / 20 / 100 / 250 RPS (free / basic / pro / business) (default, unmeasured); enterprise unlimited
net_version returns the BNB Smart Chain network identifier as an unprefixed decimal string.
Use it for compatibility with clients that still consume the net namespace. The example returns 56 for BNB Smart Chain mainnet.
Unlike eth_chainId, the value is not an EVM hex quantity. New chain-selection logic should generally prefer eth_chainId.
Parameters
JSON-RPC params must be an empty array: [].
Response

console.log(payload.result);Notes
- The BSC categories use configured defaults of 15 / 20 / 100 / 250 RPS; they are marked unmeasured in the tier matrix.
