eth_getLogs on Ethereum Classic: what we measured

  • Measured block-range cap: 50,000 blocks per call, about 7.2 days of Ethereum Classic at 12.4 s blocks. Wider ranges are rejected; page through history in windows below the cap and filter by address where you can.
  • Ethereum Classic does not expose the finalized block tag on our upstreams, so treat recent results as provisional and re-check after a reorg window.

Example request
