Web3 Integration

Ether.js

import { ethers } from "ethers";
const RPC_URL = "https://shared.eu-central-1.getblock.io/<ACCESS_TOKEN>";
const provider = new ethers.JsonRpcProvider(RPC_URL);

async function Call() {
  try {
    // Call the method — this will resolve to a number (promise resolves to number)
    const result = await provider.send("eth_getBlockTransactionCountByNumber", ["latest"])
    console.log("The result:", result);
    return result;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error("The error:", error);
    throw error;
  }
}

// Using the method through Viem
async function Call() {
