Key Differences

c8ntinuum uses CometBFT consensus (not Proof of Work). Mining-related methods return stub values for compatibility:
  • eth_mining → false
  • eth_hashrate → 0
  • eth_getWork → not applicable
  • eth_submitWork → not applicable

​
Transaction Pool

txpool_* methods are node-configuration dependent. The default public RPC profile uses api = "eth,net,web3", so it does not expose txpool. Handwritten archive examples can include txpool, and the full archive example uses api = "eth,net,web3,debug,txpool,personal". On a node with compatible txpool support enabled, common methods include:
  • txpool_status — Number of pending and queued transactions
  • txpool_content — Full transaction pool contents
  • txpool_inspect — Summary of pool contents

​
Debug Namespace

Debug tracing is intended only for the full archive debug surface. There is no separate trace namespace configured in the reviewed source set. On a full archive node with compatible debug APIs enabled, common methods include:
  • debug_traceTransaction — Trace a transaction execution
  • debug_traceBlockByNumber — Trace all transactions in a block
  • debug_traceBlockByHash — Trace by block hash

​
WebSocket Support

WebSocket connections are available at wss://public-evm-rpc.c8ntinuum.com/websocket for subscription-based event streaming:
  • eth_subscribe / eth_unsubscribe — Subscribe to new blocks, logs, and pending transactions
Free WebSocket connections are limited to 1 per visitor IP. Paid WebSocket connections are limited to 30 per API key.
