BNB Smart Chain method guide

Last updated:

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

This method takes no parameters.

Returns

net_version return value
