newBlocks

Available on Gateway and Cloud API
Note: Gateway must have a node connection to both Consensus Layer and Execution Layer as well as be using the eth-ws-uristartup argument (see How to connect Go-Gateway to consensus layer).
Name: newBlocks
newBlocks is a stream of all new blocks as they are propagated in the BDN.

Options

Key
Description
Values
include
Fields to include in the block stream.
hash,header,transactions,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)

Examples (Websocket)
