# eth_getProof

# `eth_getProof`

Returns the account's balance, nonce, code hash, storage root, and Merkle-Patricia proof for the account, along with proofs for any requested storage slots.

For Linea-specific sparse-Merkle proofs (used to verify state against Linea's L2 state root), see [`linea_getProof`](/api/reference/linea-getproof) instead.

## Parameters

-   `address`: _[required]_ 20-byte address whose proof to return.
-   `storageKeys`: _[required]_ Array of 32-byte storage slot keys to include in the proof. Pass `[]` for an account-only proof.
-   `blockParameter`: _[required]_ Hexadecimal block number, or `latest`, `earliest`, `pending`, `finalized`.

## Returns

Object containing the account proof and one storage proof per requested key:

-   `address`: The address.
-   `balance`: Account balance, in wei.
-   `codeHash`: Hash of the account's bytecode.
-   `nonce`: Account transaction count.
-   `storageHash`: Root hash of the account's storage trie.
-   `accountProof`: Array of RLP-encoded MPT nodes proving the account against the block's state root.
-   `storageProof`: Array of objects, one per requested key, each containing `key`, `value`, and `proof` (RLP-encoded MPT nodes proving the value against `storageHash`).

## Example

This example retrieves the account and storage-slot-0 proof for the USDC contract.

### Request

```bash
curl https://rpc.linea.build \
  -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",

### Response (abbreviated)

note

The response below is illustrative. Proof bytes are tied to the world-state root at the requested block and will differ for any specific request.
