blockNumber
— the number of the block for which the uncle count is being queried, encoded as a hexadecimal string.result
— the number of uncles in the specified block, encoded as a hexadecimal string. This includes all uncles that were referenced by the block at the time it was sealed.eth_getUncleCountByBlockNumber
method is important for applications that monitor the health and security of the blockchain, such as network analysis tools or block explorers. It provides insights into the level of competition among miners and the overall inclusiveness of the blockchain towards valid blocks that did not make it to the main chain.The uncle count of the block by number
