Query a block by number from the SolidityNode view. A successful response means that block number is already solidified.

📘

Use as a solidification probe

On SolidityNode, found means solidified. Not found usually means the height is not solidified yet, the SolidityNode has not reached that height, or the height does not exist. Poll again instead of recording a business failure immediately.

Confirmation semantics

When this API returns a block object, the block number is solidified in the SolidityNode view. For solidified block scans, persist the highest processed block number. Transaction bodies, receipts, events, and internal transactions serve different parsing roles; see Confirmation semantics for the state model.
