Class BSV::Network::Protocols::Chaintracks

Inherits: BSV::Network::Protocol

Chaintracks implements the GorillaPool Chaintracks API as a Protocol subclass.

Provides block header lookup and current chain tip height via the GorillaPool Chaintracks v2 REST API. Pure DSL — no escape hatches needed.

Chaintracks does not use a +{network}+ placeholder in the URL. Mainnet and testnet are served from separate base URLs; the provider defaults supply the correct URL for each network.

Usage

ct = BSV::Network::Protocols::Chaintracks.new(base_url: 'https://arcade.gorillapool.io')
result = ct.call(:current_height)
result.data  # => 800000

result = ct.call(:get_block_header, 800_000)
result.data  # => { 'hash' => '...', 'height' => 800000, 'merkleRoot' => '...' }
