Transaction Blocks

Users can deploy any custom logic in packages, equivalent to smart contracts on Sui. Each package has a set of modules, each responsible for a particular piece of business logic. Transaction blocks are instances of executing functions via packages.

Transaction blocks implement real-life use cases, such as transferring fungible and non-fungible tokens, staking, swapping, NFT or coin minting, etc. Such operations may contain smaller atomic transactions that execute a particular function.

Iotascan keeps track of the most recent transaction blocks. Packages are to be found here.

We have accumulated a lot of on-chain and off-chain data about transaction blocks and checkpoints.

The following endpoints are available for transaction blocks and inscriptions on Blockberry.

Transaction Block Endpoints

Endpoint	Description
getRawTransactionByHash	Get details of transaction blocks in a raw JSON format by hash.
getTransactionBlocksCount	Get the total number of transaction blocks on the Iota Network. Transaction blocks are added in checkpoints and contain single transactions that execute atomic operations.
getTransactionsCount	Get the total number of transactions on the Iota Network. Transactions are atomic units contained in transaction blocks that execute atomic operations.
getTransactionFunctions	Get a list of all existing transaction functions on the Iota Network. Functions are responsible for a particular piece of functionality contained in modules, which, in their turn, are deployed in packages.
getTransactionModules	Get a list of all transaction modules on the Iota Network. Modules are segments of packages responsible for a particular piece of functionality.
getTransactionBlocks	Get a list of all transaction blocks. On Iota, transaction blocks are added in checkpoints and contain single transactions that execute atomic operations.
getTransactionMetadata	Get details of a transaction block like project name, Url link, symbol, pool coin details, etc.

Checkpoints

Checkpoints are equivalent to blocks on Iota. Checkpoints are like landmarks to count the epoch time. An epoch normally lasts for 24 hours.

Iotascan shows a list of all checkpoints on Iota.

Checkpoint Endpoints

The following endpoints are available for checkpoints on Iota Mainnet.

Endpoint	Description
getCheckpoints	Get a list of all checkpoints on the Iota Network. On Iota, checkpoints are equivalent to blocks and contain transaction blocks.
getCheckpointsCount	Get the total number of checkpoints on the Iota Network. On Iota, checkpoints are equivalent to blocks and contain transaction blocks.
