/walletsolidity/getnowblock - Tron

Example code for the getnowblock Solidity API method. Complete guide on how to use getnowblock Solidity API method in GetBlock Web3 documentation.

This endpoint returns the most recent block on the chain, including its header and transactions.

This is a Solidity-node endpoint. It returns only confirmed, irreversible data, so it is the correct interface for balance and payment verification. The Fullnode serves the same operation at https://go.getblock.io/<ACCESS-TOKEN>/wallet/getnowblock over the latest, possibly unconfirmed state.

Parameters

This endpoint does not require parameters.
