Read methods are open. Broadcasting requires no key either, but unsigned or underpriced transactions are dropped at the edge rather than entering the mempool.

}| method | params | returns |
|---|---|---|
| gif_blockNumber | [] | current head height |
| gif_getBlockByHeight | [height, withTxs] | full block including object roots |
| gif_getTransaction | [hash] | single transaction and its receipt |
| gif_getObject | [slug, tokenId] | object metadata, traits and owner |
| gif_getObjectBytes | [slug, tokenId] | raw frame bytes from the object trie |
| gif_getOwnership | [address] | every object leaf owned by an address |
| gif_getListing | [slug, tokenId] | active listing, escrow account and price |
| gif_sendRawTransaction | [signedTx] | broadcast a signed transaction |
| gif_objectRoot | [height] | object root committed at a height |
| gif_proof | [slug, tokenId, height] | merkle proof of an object leaf |
Every read method accepts an optional trailing height so you can query historical state. Proofs verify against the object root in the block header, not against the indexer.
