eth_getBalance

POSThttps://triport.io/rpc/tron

Returns the current TRX balance of a 20-byte EVM address.

Tron mainnettron:rpcfree+; tron_read_rpc: 15 / 20 / 100 / 250 RPS (free / basic / pro / business; default, unmeasured)

eth_getBalance reads the native balance associated with an EVM-form Tron address. The result is an EVM hexadecimal quantity; the method does not return an account object or token balances.

The Tron EVM state surface is current-state only. The second positional parameter must be the literal latest; historical block quantities are not supported. Use wallet getaccount when native Tron account fields, rather than only the balance quantity, are required.

Parameters

JSON-RPC params is [address, block].

addressstringrequired

0x-prefixed 20-byte EVM address matching ^0x[0-9a-fA-F]{40}$.

blockstringrequired

Must be latest; numeric historical tags are unavailable.

Response

Response fields

Field	Type	Description
`jsonrpc`	string	JSON-RPC protocol version.
`id`	number	Correlates the response with the request.
`result`	string	Current native balance as an EVM hex quantity.

Errors

See Tron errors for the common envelope.

Code	Meaning	When it happens
`-32602`	Invalid params	The address is malformed or `block` is not `latest`.
`-32601`	Method not found	The method is outside the catalog.
`401`	Unauthorized	The API key is missing or invalid.
`429`	Rate limited	The `tron_read_rpc` budget is exceeded.

Examples

JavaScript

const params = ["0xa614f803b6fd780986a42c78ec9c7f77e6ded13c", "latest"];
const response = await fetch("https://triport.io/rpc/tron", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: { "x-token": process.env.TRIPORT_API_KEY, "Content-Type": "application/json" },
  body: JSON.stringify({ jsonrpc: "2.0", id: 1, method: "eth_getBalance", params }),
});
const balance = BigInt((await response.json()).result);

Notes

Block tags other than latest are rejected; this endpoint does not provide historical EVM state.
TRC20 token balances require a contract call, not this native-balance method.
