Checks & coverage
The methods below are fanned out to multiple independent upstreams (the standard tier tries one at a time). How the answer is settled depends on the method; expand any one to see it per network.Consensus
The request goes to several independent upstreams; the answer is returned only when enough come back identical, so a lone wrong or stale node is outvoted.Highest value
We query several upstreams and keep the highest, freshest value. A node that has fallen behind reports a number that is too low, which is enough to leave your transaction unmined or rejected.Broadcast
We push it to every upstream in parallel for the widest, fastest propagation, and return the fastest response.Under the hood
The tier layers two independent protections: cross-source consensus and per-response data-integrity checks. For reads with one canonical answer (state, blocks, logs, receipts), consensus sends the request to several independent upstreams in parallel via eRPC’s consensus failsafe and only returns a value once a quorum agrees. Fields that legitimately differ between client implementations (block timestamps, L1 metadata) are ignored, so only meaningful disagreements count. When sources genuinely disagree it returns an error rather than guessing, routing around any upstream that returned wrong data. The quorum isn’t hand-tuned: it’s sized per network from how many independent upstreams it actually has. Not everything has a single right answer to vote on. Gas price and priority-fee estimates are computed locally by each node, andeth_sendRawTransaction is a write, not a read. So the tier still fans these out to multiple upstreams, but applies the rule that fits: it keeps the highest value for eth_gasPrice / eth_maxPriorityFeePerGas / eth_getTransactionCount (so a stale, too-low estimate can’t stick you), and broadcasts eth_sendRawTransaction to every upstream in parallel for the widest, fastest propagation.
Independently of agreement, every response runs through eRPC’s data-integrity checks:
