BNB Smart Chain method guide

Last updated:

net_peerCount returns the number of peers connected to the selected BNB Smart Chain node as an EVM hex quantity.

Use it for node-level diagnostics and decode the quantity for display. Because requests may be routed to different eligible nodes, the value is not a stable pool-wide total.

This method reports a count only. net_listening reports the selected node's listening flag, while eth_syncing reports synchronization progress.

Parameters

This method takes no parameters.

Returns

net_peerCount return value
FieldType
peerCountQuantity
