Kadena RPC
Overview
The /cut endpoint in Kadena represents a distributed state of a chainweb. It references one block header for each chain, ensuring those blocks are pairwise concurrent. In Kadena, two blocks from different chains are considered concurrent if one is a direct dependency of the other or if they don't depend on each other at all. This method is crucial for:
- State Monitoring: Allows for the monitoring of the Kadena chainweb's state, facilitating the identification of the blockchain's health and activity.
- Synchronization: Essential for applications that require up-to-date synchronization with the Kadena chainweb's state.
- Data Integrity: Ensures that transactions and other blockchain interactions are based on the current and accurate state of the chainweb.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| apiVersion | string | Yes | Version of Kadena API "0.0" |
| nodeVersion | enum | Yes | "test-singleton" "development" "mainnet01" "testnet04" |
| maxHeight | number | No | Maximum cut height of the returned cut |
Returns
A successful request to the /cut endpoint returns the current cut of the Kadena chainweb, including the following information:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| origin | The origin of the cut. |
| height | The height of the cut, indicating the latest state. |
| weight | The weight of the cut. |
| hashes | An object containing the height and hash of the latest block for each chain in the chainweb. |
| id | The ID of the cut. |
| instance | The instance of the Kadena network (e.g., mainnet01). |
Request Example
curl --location 'https://api.tatum.io/v3/blockchain/node/kadena-mainnet/{api_key}/chainweb/{apiVersion}/{nodeVersion}/cut' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
// yarn add @tatumio/tatum
import { TatumSDK, Kadena, Network } from "@tatumio/tatum";
const tatum = await TatumSDK.init<Kadena>({ network: Network.KADENA_MAINNET });
const currentCut = await tatum.rpc.putCutNetworkPeerInfo({
network: {
apiVersion: "0.0",
nodeVersion: "mainnet01",
},
maxHeight:
});
await tatum.destroy(); // Destroy Tatum SDK - needed for stopping background jobs
