+### minimumLedgerSlot
+
+Returns the lowest slot that the node has information about in its ledger.  This
+value may increase over time if the node is configured to purge older ledger data
+
+#### Parameters:
+
+None
+
+#### Results:
+
+* `u64` - Minimum ledger slot
+
+#### Example:
+
+```bash
+// Request
+curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1, "method":"minimumLedgerSlot"}' http://localhost:8899

 ### requestAirdrop
