--- title: "EVM JSON-RPC Methods" description: "Core EVM JSON-RPC method coverage and archive/capability notes" url: "https://blockreq.com/docs/build/api-reference/evm-methods/" --- # EVM JSON-RPC Methods BlockReq supports standard EVM JSON-RPC over HTTPS and WebSocket. The table below is organized by common Core RPC API categories and marks methods that require archive, trace, debug, txpool, or WSS capability. > [!NOTE] > Archive support is chain-specific. Use the public chain page and dashboard chain list to confirm whether a route is archive-capable before relying on old-block state, proof, debug, or trace calls. Request Counting is documented on [Request Counting](https://blockreq.com/docs/pricing/request-counting/index.md).
