Tempo API method that returns information about a block specified by its hash. This method can return full transaction objects or just transaction hashes depending on the second parameter. Tempo blocks include additional fields not found in standard Ethereum blocks: mainBlockGeneralGasLimit, sharedGasLimit, and timestampMillisPart for sub-second precision.

​
Parameters

  • blockHash — the hash of the block to retrieve
  • fullTransactions — if true, returns full transaction objects; if false, returns only transaction hashes

​
Response

  • result — a block object, or null if no block was found:
    • number — the block number
    • hash — the block hash
    • parentHash — hash of the parent block
    • timestamp — block timestamp in seconds
    • timestampMillisPart — sub-second timestamp (0-999 ms), Tempo-specific
    • transactions — array of transaction objects or hashes
    • Additional Tempo fields for payment lanes gas limits
