BlockchainBase

BlockchainBase

is an option for various blockchain functions that specifies which blockchain to use.

Details

  • The default setting for BlockchainBase is $BlockchainBase.
  • Possible settings for BlockchainBase include:
  • "ARK",{"ARK","Mainnet"}ARK mainnet blockchain
    {"ARK","Devnet"}ARK devnet blockchain
    "Bitcoin" ,{"Bitcoin","Mainnet"}Bitcoin mainnet blockchain
    {"Bitcoin","Testnet"}Bitcoin testnet blockchain
    "Bloxberg"bloxberg blockchain
    "Cardano",{"Cardano","Mainnet"}Cardano mainnet blockchain
    {"Cardano","Testnet"}Cardano testnet blockchain
    "Ethereum",{"Ethereum","Mainnet"}Ethereum mainnet blockchain
    {"Ethereum","Testnet"}Ethereum testnet blockchain
    "Tezos", {"Tezos, "Mainnet"}Tezos mainnet blockchain
    {"Tezos","Testnet"}Tezos testnet blockchain
    {"Tezos",network}Tezos network specified by its name network (e.g. "Delphinet")
    {"Tezos",chainID}Tezos network specified by its chainID (e.g. "NetXdQprcVkpaWU")
    {"MultiChain","Wolfram"}Wolfram-maintained blockchain

Basic Examples  (4)

Use the Bitcoin blockchain:

Use the Ethereum blockchain:

Use the ARK blockchain:

Use the bloxberg blockchain:

Use the Tezos blockchain:

Use the Cardano blockchain:

Get the last block of the Bitcoin testnet blockchain:

Get information about a transaction from the bloxberg blockchain:

Get information about a transaction from the Cardano blockchain:

Scope  (5)

Bitcoin, Ethereum, ARK, Cardano and Tezos mainnet networks can also be specified explicitly:

Get data from the Bitcoin testnet:

Get data from the ARK devnet:

Get data from the Cardano testnet:

Use a Tezos chain ID to specify the network:

Possible Issues  (1)

Getting transaction information from the Bitcoin testnet using a transaction ID from the mainnet network will return a Missing[NotAvailable] output:
