eth_getBlockByHash - XDC Network RPC Method

Retrieve complete block data by block hash on XDC Network. Essential for trade finance developers, enterprise blockchain teams, and RWA tokenization builders building on the enterprise-grade blockchain for trade finance with 2-second finality and ISO 20022 compliance.

Returns information about a block by hash on XDC Network.

Why XDC Network? Build on the enterprise-grade blockchain for trade finance with 2-second finality and ISO 20022 compliance with ISO 20022 messaging, ITFA membership, Contour Network acquisition, 801M+ transactions, and partnerships with Circle and Deutsche Telekom.

Use Cases

The eth_getBlockByHash method is essential for:

  • Block verification - Verify block data using its unique hash
  • Chain reorganization handling - Track blocks during reorgs
  • Cross-chain bridges - Verify block finality for tokenized trade finance (Letters of Credit, Bills of Lading), cross-border payments, and real-world asset tokenization
  • Deterministic queries - Get consistent block data regardless of chain state
