Using the Lab

The getVersionInfo method provides version details about the RPC service and its underlying Captive Core—a pared-down, embedded version of Stellar Core optimized specifically for Soroban RPC operations. This is useful for debugging, support, or ensuring compatibility between different components in your development or production environments. 👉 View Version Info on the Lab
