Reading Blockchain State

Overview​

Push Chain is an EVM-compatible blockchain, so you can use familiar Ethereum tools to fetch on-chain data. This guide shows you how to:

  • Initialize HTTP client for one-off requests
  • Fetch transactions and blocks
  • Initialize WebSocket client for real-time streaming
  • Subscribe to new blocks and filter for specific transactions
