InvalidBlockError

Represents an error that occurs when the block parameter is invalid.

This error is typically encountered when a transaction or operation references a block, blockTag, or blockNumber parameter that is invalid or does not conform to the expected structure.

Currently most named block tags are not supported on all endpoints except for latest and ‘earliest’. This will be expanded in near future.

Example

try {
  // Some operation that can throw an InvalidBlockError
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof InvalidBlockError) {
    console.error(error.message);
    // Handle the invalid block error
  }
}

Param

A human-readable error message.

Param

Additional parameters for the InvalidBlockError.
