Blocks are the building blocks of blockchains and rollups.

A block contains transactions which will alter the state of an EVM system incrementally. Transaction within a block can only be executed one after the other, not in parallel.

Several columns may only be applicable for specific EVM-compatible blockchains. The list of columns present in the table is not exhaustive.

Table Columns

Unique Key: number

Column NameData TypeDescription
timestampTIMESTAMP_NTZ(9)The unix timestamp for when the block was collated.
numberBIGINTThe length of the chain, in blocks.
hashVARCHARUnique identifier of a block.
parent_hashVARCHARUnique identifier of the block preceding this block, also known as the parent block.
nonceVARCHARThe hash of the generated proof-of-work. null if pending
sha3_unclesVARCHARAn array of uncle hashes.
logs_bloomVARCHARThe bloom filter for the logs of the block.
transactions_rootVARCHARThe root of the transaction trie of the block.
state_rootVARCHARThe root of the final state trie of the block.
