eth_getUncleCountByBlockHash - BSC

Example code for the eth_getUncleCountByBlockHash JSON RPC method. Сomplete guide on how to use eth_getUncleCountByBlockHash JSON RPC in GetBlock Web3 documentation.

The eth_getUncleCountByBlockHash method returns the number of uncles in a block by block hash. On BSC with PoSA consensus, this typically returns 0.

BSC uses PoSA consensus and does not produce uncle blocks in normal operation, so this method will generally return 0 (0x0).
