getStateRoot

Overview

The getStateRoot endpoint allows you to retrieve the state root of a specific Ethereum Beacon Chain state.

Example use cases:

1. State Verification: Developers can verify the state of the Ethereum Beacon Chain at a specific state ID.
2. Custom Queries: Network administrators and developers can use this data for custom queries and analysis of the Ethereum 2.0 network.

Parameters

Returns

• execution_optimistic (boolean): true if the response references an unverified execution payload. Optimistic information may be invalidated at a later time. If the field is not present, assume the false value.
• finalized (boolean): If the response mentions the chain's final history picked by forks, it's true. Without the field, more calls are needed to compare the requested epoch with the final checkpoint.
• data (object ): The data object contains the following properties:
  • root (string, hex): The root is a hexadecimal string representing the HashTreeRoot of the BeaconState object. It follows the pattern: ^0x[a-fA-F0-9]{64}$.

Request Example

// Import necessary libraries and modules
import { TatumSDK, Ethereum, Network } from '@tatumio/tatum'

// Initialize the Tatum SDK with Ethereum-specific parameters
const tatum = await TatumSDK.init<Ethereum>({ network: Network.ETHEREUM })

// Specify the state ID
const StateId = 'your-state-id';

// Retrieve the state root using the getStateRoot method
const stateRoot = await tatum.rpc.beacon.v1.getStateRoot({stateId: StateId});

// Destroy Tatum SDK - needed for stopping background jobs
await tatum.destroy()
