eth_getTransactionReceipt

eth_getTransactionReceipt returns the execution receipt for a transaction that has already been mined into a block on Base, Coinbase's OP Stack rollup where ETH is the gas token. Given a transaction hash, the node replies with the post-execution record: the status flag telling you success or revert, gasUsed and effectiveGasPrice, every log the transaction emitted, and the contractAddress when the transaction deployed a contract. Point the request at https://base.therpc.io/YOUR_API_KEY (Base mainnet, chain ID 8453 / 0x2105). Because Base produces blocks roughly every 2 seconds through its sequencer, a freshly broadcast transaction usually has a receipt available within a few seconds.

Use cases

• Confirm whether a Base transaction succeeded or reverted after it was mined by reading the status field (0x1 success, 0x0 revert).
• Extract the emitted logs to update application state — for example reacting to an Aerodrome Swap or an ERC-20 Transfer event the transaction produced.
• Retrieve the address of a newly deployed contract from contractAddress, which is non-null only for deployment transactions.
• Calculate the exact fee the sender paid in ETH by multiplying gasUsed by effectiveGasPrice.

Errors & troubleshooting

Common pitfalls

• The method returns null while a transaction is still pending in the mempool. Poll until you get a non-null receipt rather than assuming it is ready; on Base's ~2s block cadence that wait is usually short but never zero.
• A receipt with status: "0x0" means the transaction was included in a block but reverted — the sender's ETH was still spent on gas, so do not treat a present receipt as proof of success.
• For ingesting every receipt in a block, call eth_getBlockReceipts once instead of issuing one eth_getTransactionReceipt per hash — it is far more efficient for indexers backfilling Base history.
