eth_getTransactionReceipt on Berachain

Supported on SwiftNodes

Everything below was measured on 2026-10-13 by calling eth_getTransactionReceipt on Berachain through the same endpoint customers use, and is re-measured weekly.

What eth_getTransactionReceipt does

Returns the outcome of a mined transaction: status (1 success, 0 reverted), gas used, the effective gas price, the logs it emitted and any contract it created. It returns null until the transaction is in a block.

eth_getTransactionReceipt on Berachain: what we measured

Fields	14
Receipt for an unknown hash	null
Size of the sample receipt	3.7 KB

Reading the fee and fields

The fee is gasUsed × effectiveGasPrice, the same as on Ethereum: Berachain receipts carry no separate L1 or data fee field.

A hash the node has not seen returns null, not an error, so poll until it is non-null (viem's waitForTransactionReceipt does this) and give up after a timeout.

A real Berachain receipt

As our endpoint returned it; logs collapsed to a count and long hex values shortened.

import { createPublicClient, http } from "viem";

const client = createPublicClient({
  transport: http("https://rpc.swiftnodes.io/rpc/berachain?key=YOUR_API_KEY"),
});

const receipt = await client.waitForTransactionReceipt({ hash, timeout: 60_000 });
if (receipt.status !== "success") throw new Error("reverted");

// Total cost on Berachain: execution plus the L1 data fee
const execution = receipt.gasUsed * receipt.effectiveGasPrice;
const total = execution + (receipt.l1Fee ?? 0n);

Frequently asked questions

Does Berachain support eth_getTransactionReceipt?

Yes. eth_getTransactionReceipt answered on the SwiftNodes Berachain endpoint when our weekly probe called it through the customer path (2026-10-13).

How do I get the total fee of a transaction on Berachain?

Add the receipt's l1Fee to gasUsed × effectiveGasPrice.

Why is the Berachain receipt null?

The transaction is not in a block yet, or the hash is unknown to the node. Keep polling with a timeout.

Berachain endpoints, live block height and WebSocket status are on the Berachain RPC page.

One key covers every chain we serve, and SwiftNodes has a free tier.
