isblockhashvalid

How to Use It

// yarn add @tatumio/tatum

import { TatumSDK, Solana, Network, Commitment } from '@tatumio/tatum'

const tatum = await TatumSDK.init<Solana>({ network: Network.SOLANA })

const blockhash = 'J7rBdM6AecPDEZp8aPq5iPSNKVkU5Q76F3oAV4eW5wsW'
const options = {
  commitment: Commitment.Processed,
  minContextSlot: 5
} // optional

const res = await tatum.rpc.isBlockhashValid(blockhash, options)

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

Overview

The isBlockhashValid method evaluates the validity of a specified blockhash. This can be used to confirm if a blockhash is still valid on the network.

Parameters

    • Values: finalized confirmed processed

Return Object

The return object contains a bool value indicating if the blockhash is still valid.
