Tatum gives you direct access to RPC nodes so that your app is always connected to the Base network.
The blockNumber method returns the number of the most recent block on the blockchain. This method is commonly used to track the current state of the network, monitor for new blocks, or fetch historical data.
The getBalance method is a JSON-RPC method that allows you to retrieve the balance of a specified address. This method can be used to query the balance of any address, whether it is a contract or an externally owned account (EOA). A common use case for this method is to display the current balance of a user's account in a wallet application or a decentralised application (DApp).
The getTransactionByHash is a JSON-RPC method that allows you to query transaction details based on its hash. This method is useful when you want to retrieve information about a specific transaction, such as its sender, receiver, value, and more. Common use cases include tracking transaction status, monitoring incoming transactions, or analyzing historical transaction data.
The getTransactionReceipt is an method that retrieves the transaction receipt of a given transaction hash. This method is particularly useful when you need to obtain detailed information about a transaction's execution, such as its status (success or failure), gas usage, and logs (events). Common use cases include checking the status of a transaction after it has been mined or inspecting the events emitted by a smart contract during a specific transaction.
The gasPrice method is a JSON-RPC method used to estimate the average gas price required for transactions in the Ethereum network. This method provides a suggestion for the gas price to be used in a transaction to increase the likelihood of it being mined and included in a block in a reasonable amount of time. The gasPrice method is particularly useful for developers and users who want to create and send transactions, as it helps them estimate the appropriate gas price to ensure timely processing.
