# eth\_getTransactionCount

If eth\_getTransactionCount is submitted with the "pending" param Blink will intercept the call, check its data for any transactions in the last 24 seconds (2 blocks) and return the highest nonce we have received.

All calls with "latest" or "earliest" will be forwarded onto an Ethereum node.

This endpoint is default disabled as it isn't relevant for most originators, it can be enabled for your custom endpoint.
