List of recent blocks on the home page.

​
base_fee_per_gas
string | null
required

EIP-1559 base fee per gas, in wei. Null on blocks produced before EIP-1559 activation or on chains that do not implement EIP-1559.

Pattern: ^-?([1-9][0-9]*|0)$
​
burnt_fees
string | null
required

Sum of EIP-1559 base fees burned by transactions in this block, in wei.

Pattern: ^-?([1-9][0-9]*|0)$
​
burnt_fees_percentage
number<float> | null
required

Burned base fees as a percentage of total transaction fees in this block.

​
difficulty
string | null
required

Proof-of-work difficulty of this block. Zero on proof-of-stake chains.

Pattern: ^-?([1-9][0-9]*|0)$
​
gas_limit
string
required
Pattern: ^-?([1-9][0-9]*|0)$
​
gas_target_percentage
number<float>
required

Percent above the EIP-1559 elasticity target (gas_used vs. gas_limit / elasticity_multiplier).

​
gas_used
string
required
Pattern: ^-?([1-9][0-9]*|0)$
​
gas_used_percentage
number<float>
required

Gas used in this block as a percentage of gas_limit.

​
hash
string
required
Pattern: ^0x([A-Fa-f0-9]{64})$
​
height
integer
required

Block number (zero-based index from genesis).

Required range: x >= 0
​
internal_transactions_count
integer | null
required

Number of internal transactions in this block; null when the count is unavailable.

Required range: x >= 0
​
is_pending_update
boolean | null
required

True when the block is scheduled for re-fetch; its fields may change once re-fetching completes.

​
miner
Address · object
required

Address credited with the block — the miner on PoW chains, the fee recipient / proposer on PoS chains, and the sequencer on rollups.

​
nonce
string
required

Proof-of-work nonce used to satisfy the difficulty target. Zero on proof-of-stake chains.

Pattern: ^0x([A-Fa-f0-9]*)$
​
parent_hash
string
required
Pattern: ^0x([A-Fa-f0-9]{64})$
​

required

Sum of validator tips (EIP-1559 priority fees) paid by transactions in this block, in wei.

Pattern: ^-?([1-9][0-9]*|0)$
​
rewards
object[]

Block rewards grouped by recipient category. Single-block variant: type is a human-readable label rather than a machine identifier.

​
size
integer | null
required

Block size in bytes (length of the RLP-encoded block).

Required range: x >= 0
​
timestamp
string<date-time>
required
​
