RPC

Use this page when you need the top-level thru commands that are not nested under a program-specific family.

Use This When

• you want to query node or chain state
• you want to inspect account data or balances
• you want the top-level native transfer command

Choose another family when:

• you are working with token accounts or mints: Token Commands
• you are building or executing raw transactions: Transaction Commands
• you are creating or managing programs: Program Commands

Commands

Command	Use it for
thru getversion	Fetch node version information.
thru gethealth	Check node health.
thru getheight	Read cluster block heights.
thru getaccountinfo [account] [--data-start N] [--data-len N]	Inspect account metadata and optionally slice returned account data.
thru getbalance [account]	Fetch balance for a key name or address.
thru getslotmetrics <slot> [end_slot]	Inspect state counters and collected fees for one slot or a slot range.
thru transfer <src> <dst> <value>	Send native Thru between accounts.

Common Patterns

thru getversion
thru --json gethealth
thru getaccountinfo default --data-start 0 --data-len 64
thru transfer default ta...[recipient] 1000

Notes

• These are the fastest commands to try first for read-only health, balance, or account inspection tasks.
• getaccountinfo and getbalance can resolve config key names as account identifiers.
• Use --json if the next step depends on parsing returned values programmatically.
