bdnBlocks

Available on Gateway and Cloud API
Name: bdnBlocks
bdnBlocks is a stream of all new blocks as they are propagated in the BDN. The blocks published in the bdnBlocks stream may include blocks that will not be accepted on chain. This stream offers significant performance speed over the newBlocks stream (from the Gateway or the node).

Options

Key
Description
Values
include
Fields to include in the block stream.
hash,header,transactions,uncles,future_validator_info
[Default: all] future_validator_info contains validator addresses for future blocks and indicates whether the validators are connected to the BDN (currently only supported in BSC)
