eth_feeHistory on Plasma

Supported on SwiftNodes

Measured 2026-10-11 by our weekly probe, which calls eth_feeHistory through the same Plasma endpoint customers use.

What eth_feeHistory does

Returns base fees, gas-used ratios and optional priority-fee percentiles for a range of recent blocks. Wallets and SDKs use it to set maxFeePerGas and maxPriorityFeePerGas instead of guessing from eth_gasPrice.

eth_feeHistory on Plasma: what we measured

Example request

curl -s https://rpc.swiftnodes.io/rpc/plasma?key=YOUR_API_KEY \
  -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"eth_feeHistory","params":["0x14","latest",[25,50,75]]}'

import { createPublicClient, http } from "viem";

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

// Any JSON-RPC method, typed loosely: eth_feeHistory on Plasma
const result = await client.request({
  method: "eth_feeHistory",
  params: ["0x14","latest",[25,50,75]],
});
