eth_getBlockByNumber - Bittensor RPC Method
Retrieve complete block data by block number on Bittensor. Perfect for AI/ML developers, subnet operators, and teams building decentralized machine learning applications building on the decentralized machine intelligence network built around subnets, TAO staking, and validator-miner coordination.
Returns information about a block by block number on Bittensor.
Why Bittensor? Build on the decentralized machine intelligence network built around subnets, TAO staking, and validator-miner coordination with Yuma Consensus, subnet-based specialization, dual Substrate and EVM surfaces, and onchain incentive coordination.
Use Cases
The eth_getBlockByNumber method is essential for:
- Block explorers - Display complete block information
- Transaction indexers - Process all transactions in a block
- Analytics platforms - Analyze blockchain data for decentralized AI inference, subnet-specific AI models, TAO staking, and cross-subnet AI collaboration
- Timestamp verification - Get block timestamps for time-based logic
