How to use it

// Importing Tatum SDK for Beacon Chain
import { TatumSDK, Network, Bnb } from '@tatumio/tatum';

// Initializing SDK for Beacon Chain network
const tatum = await TatumSDK.init<Bnb>({ network: Network.BNB });

// Defining the parameters for fetching a specific block from the blockchain
const blockParams = {
  height: YOUR_HEIGHT_VALUE
};

// Fetching the block data using the 'block' method and the defined parameters
const blockData = await tatum.rpc.block(blockParams);

console.log(blockData);

// Destroying the Tatum SDK instance to stop any background jobs and free up resources
await tatum.destroy();
