web3_sha3

The web3_sha3 method returns the Keccak-256 hash of the given data. This method computes the cryptographic hash using the Keccak-256 algorithm (note: this is different from SHA3-256). It's commonly used for generating function selectors, computing event signatures, and other cryptographic operations in Ethereum development. The input must be hex-encoded with a 0x prefix.

Parameters

Return Object

Returns the Keccak-256 hash of the input data as a 32-byte hexadecimal string.
