Nonce

Retrieves the nonce for a contract at a specific block state.

Method Signature

func (provider *Provider) Nonce(
	ctx context.Context,
	blockID BlockID,
	contractAddress *felt.Felt,
) (*felt.Felt, error)

Parameters

  • ctx - Context for request cancellation and timeout
  • blockID - The block identifier (see BlockID helper functions)
  • contractAddress - The address of the contract

Returns

  • *felt.Felt - The contract's nonce at the requested state
  • error - Error if the request fails

BlockID Parameter

The blockID parameter specifies which block state to query. See BlockID helper functions for available options:

  • WithBlockTag("latest") - Latest block
  • WithBlockTag("pending") - Pending block
  • WithBlockNumber(n) - Specific block number
  • WithBlockHash(hash) - Specific block hash

Usage Example

package main
 
import (
	"context"
	"fmt"
	"log"
	"os"
 
	"github.com/NethermindEth/starknet.go/rpc"
	"github.com/NethermindEth/starknet.go/utils"
)
 
func main() {
	// Create RPC client
	// Get RPC URL from environment variable
	rpcURL := os.Getenv("STARKNET_RPC_URL")
	if rpcURL == "" {
		log.Fatal("STARKNET_RPC_URL not set in environment")
	}
 
	ctx := context.Background()
	client, err := rpc.NewProvider(ctx, rpcURL)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal("Failed to create client:", err)
	}
 
	// ETH contract address on Sepolia
	contractAddress, err := utils.HexToFelt("0x049d36570d4e46f48e99674bd3fcc84644ddd6b96f7c741b1562b82f9e004dc7")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal("Failed to parse contract address:", err)
	}
 
	// Get nonce
	nonce, err := client.Nonce(ctx, rpc.WithBlockTag("latest"), contractAddress)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal("Failed to get nonce:", err)
	}
 
	fmt.Printf("Nonce: %s\n", nonce)
}

Expected Output

Nonce: 0x0

Error Handling

nonce, err := client.Nonce(ctx, rpc.WithBlockTag("latest"), contractAddress)
if err != nil {
	// Handle errors like contract not found, invalid block ID, etc.
	return err
}
