Methods in the provider portal are the RPC methods (e.g. eth_blockNumber, eth_getLogs) you support. Configuring methods tells RouteMesh which of your routes can serve which consumer calls.

Why methods matter

  • Consumers send RPC requests for specific methods (and chains).
  • RouteMesh only routes a method to your nodes if you have declared support for that method and have an active plan covering it.
  • Correct method configuration avoids missed opportunities and misrouted requests.

Managing methods in the portal

  1. Go to Provider portal → Methods.
  2. Add or edit the methods your infrastructure supports per chain/VM as appropriate.
  3. Ensure you have Plans and Nodes that cover those methods so routes become active.

Relationship to plans and nodes

  • Plans define pricing and scope (chain, method, region, strategy).
  • Methods declare what you can handle.
  • Nodes are the actual endpoints that serve traffic.
All three must align for a route to be active and receive traffic.
