# eth\_estimateUserOperationGas This method provides estimates for **PreVerificationGas**, **VerificationGas**, and **CallGasLimit** based on a given UserOperation and EntryPoint address. {% hint style="info" %} It does not validate the signature field or the current gas values; however, to ensure the most accurate results, a dummy signature, such as a correctly formatted and appropriately lengthened signature, should be used. {% endhint %} ### Request ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 3, "method": "eth_estimateUserOperationGas", "params": [ { "sender": "0x7C6EdFcdEc67c0D39AB28D77AA6933fd7Bd385AB", "nonce": "0x1", "initCode":"0x", "callData": "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", "paymasterAndData": "0x", "signature": "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", "maxFeePerGas": "0x35000396b", "maxPriorityFeePerGas": "0xb0d24a9d", "callGasLimit": "0x30d40", "verificationGasLimit": "0x186a00", "preVerificationGas": "0x30d40" }, "0x5FF137D4b0FDCD49DcA30c7CF57E578a026d2789" ] } ``` ### Response ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "result": { "preVerificationGas": "0xc178", "verificationGasLimit": "0x2a768", "callGasLimit": "0x225ec" } } ``` ### Optional state override set Gas estimation for a UserOperation can also be performed under various states, which is useful in multiple scenarios. For instance, you might need to estimate the gas for an ERC-20 transfer without encountering an RPC error due to insufficient funds. This is achieved by providing a parameter that maps addresses to their override settings. It works the same way as [eth\_call](https://geth.ethereum.org/docs/interacting-with-geth/rpc/ns-eth#eth-call). ### Example ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 3, "method": "eth_estimateUserOperationGas", "params": [ { "sender": "0x7C6EdFcdEc67c0D39AB28D77AA6933fd7Bd385AB", "nonce": "0x1", "initCode":"0x", "callData": "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", "paymasterAndData": "0x", "signature": "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", "maxFeePerGas": "0x35000396b", "maxPriorityFeePerGas": "0xb0d24a9d", "callGasLimit": "0x30d40", "verificationGasLimit": "0x186a00", "preVerificationGas": "0x30d40" }, "0x5FF137D4b0FDCD49DcA30c7CF57E578a026d2789", { "0x7C6EdFcdEc67c0D39AB28D77AA6933fd7Bd385AB": { "balance": "0xff345742234" } } ] } ``` --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.cometh.io/bundler/bundler-api/eth_estimateuseroperationgas.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
