eth_getTransactionReceipt on Core

Supported on SwiftNodes

Everything below was measured on 2026-10-13 by calling eth_getTransactionReceipt on Core 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 Core: what we measured

Fields	14
Receipt for an unknown hash	null
Size of the sample receipt	1.5 KB

Reading the fee and fields

The fee is gasUsed × effectiveGasPrice, the same as on Ethereum: Core 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 Core receipt

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

  -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

import { createPublicClient, http } from "viem";

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

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

const total = receipt.gasUsed * receipt.effectiveGasPrice;

Frequently asked questions

Does Core support eth_getTransactionReceipt?

Yes. eth_getTransactionReceipt answered on the SwiftNodes Core 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 Core?

gasUsed × effectiveGasPrice from the receipt.

Why is the Core receipt null?

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

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

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