eth_getBlockTransactionCountByHash
is a useful tool for analyzing transaction volume on the Ethereum blockchain. For instance, a new block is generated on the Ethereum blockchain every 12 seconds, resulting in approximately 300 blocks per hour. Using the web3.js library, one can inspect the past 300 blocks starting from the latest block and use eth_getBlockTransactionCountByHash
to find the number of transactions in each block.
This example connects to an Ethereum node using the web3.js library. The retrieveTransactionsCount
function gets the current block number, calculates the block number from one hour ago, and uses a for loop to iterate through all blocks in that range.
The function then retrieves the hash of each block and the number of transactions in each block and adds it to a total transaction count. The final result, the total number of transactions in the previous hour, is logged to the console.
This is a good example of how you can combine different methods.
