eth_protocolVersion

The eth_protocolVersion method returns the current Kaia protocol version implemented by the node. This method provides information about which version of the eth wire protocol the node supports for peer-to-peer communication.

The protocol version number indicates which Kaia protocol specification the node implements, which determines compatibility with other nodes and which features are supported. This is distinct from the client version (returned by web3_clientVersion) - the protocol version refers to the standardized communication protocol between Kaia nodes. While historically useful, this method is less relevant in modern Kaia as most nodes have converged on similar protocol versions. It can still be useful for debugging network connectivity issues or understanding node capabilities.
