eth_getBlockByNumber

Overview

Returns information about a block specified by number.

Movement-Specific Considerations

• Semantics match Ethereum clients. Fast finality (~1–3s) means recent blocks stabilize quickly.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
blockTag	string	Yes	latest, earliest, pending, or hex number
fullTxObjects	boolean	Yes	true to return full transactions, else only hashes

Returns

Block object or null if not found.
