Block

A block containing transactions and metadata. Blocks are the fundamental unit of the blockchain, each building on the previous one.

Schema Definition

type Block {
  number: BlockNumber!
  hash: BlockHash!
  timestamp: Timestamp!
  transactionCount: Int!
  gasUsed: BigInt!
  gasLimit: BigInt!
  difficulty: BigInt!
  size: Int!
  confirmations: Int!
  transactions(
    first: Int = 10
    after: Cursor
    where: BlockTransactionFilter
    orderBy: BlockTransactionOrderBy
    orderDirection: OrderDirection
  ): BlockTransactionList!
  contractsCreated(
    first: Int = 10
    after: Cursor
    where: ContractFilter
    orderBy: ContractOrderBy
    orderDirection: OrderDirection
  ): ContractList!
}

Fields

Field	Type	Description
number	BlockNumber! non-null scalar	Block number (height) representing the position in the blockchain. Genesis block is 0.
hash	BlockHash! non-null scalar	Unique 256-bit hash identifying this block.
timestamp	Timestamp! non-null scalar	Timestamp when this block was mined/validated.
transactionCount	Int! non-null scalar	Number of transactions included in this block.
gasUsed	BigInt! non-null scalar	Total gas consumed by all transactions in this block.
gasLimit	BigInt! non-null scalar	Maximum gas that could be used in this block (block gas limit).
difficulty	BigInt! non-null scalar	Mining difficulty for this block (relevant for pre-merge proof-of-work blocks).
size	Int! non-null scalar	Total size of the block in bytes, including all transaction data.
confirmations	Int! non-null scalar	Number of blocks that have been mined after this one. Higher confirmations indicate greater finality.
transactions	BlockTransactionList! non-null object	Transactions included in this block, paginated.
contractsCreated	ContractList! non-null object	Smart contracts that were deployed in this block, paginated.

transactions Arguments

Argument	Type	Description

after	Cursor scalar	Cursor for pagination. Pass the endCursor from a previous query to get the next page.
where	BlockTransactionFilter input	Filter criteria for block transactions.
orderBy	BlockTransactionOrderBy enum	Field to sort results by.
orderDirection	OrderDirection enum	Sort direction (ascending or descending).

contractsCreated Arguments

Argument	Type	Description
first	Int scalar	Maximum number of results to return (default: 10, max: 100).
after	Cursor scalar	Cursor for pagination. Pass the endCursor from a previous query to get the next page.
where	ContractFilter input	Filter criteria for contracts.
orderBy	ContractOrderBy enum	Field to sort results by.
orderDirection	OrderDirection enum	Sort direction (ascending or descending).
