Querying

Read-only queries on EVM-compatible Cosmos chains with CosmJS.

Read-only queries work identically to standard chains. The account parser in StargateClient automatically handles EVM public key types:

import { StargateClient } from "@cosmjs/stargate";

const client = await StargateClient.connect("http://localhost:26661");

const account = await client.getAccount("cosmos1...");
// account.pubkey will have type "os/PubKeyEthSecp256k1" for EVM accounts

const balance = await client.getBalance("cosmos1...", "atest");
