POST /eth/v2/beacon/blinded_blocks

Publish a signed block

Instructs the beacon node to replace the transactions_root with the matching complete list of transactions in order to create and publish a SignedBeaconBlock using the components of the SignedBlindedBeaconBlock. To join the beacon chain, the beacon node must broadcast a freshly built SignedBeaconBlock to the beacon network. A successful response (20X) just signifies that the broadcast was successful; the beacon node is not needed to verify the signed BeaconBlock. Blocks that do not pass internal validation are nevertheless broadcast, but a different status code is returned (202). The beacon node is expected to incorporate the new block into its state and so validate the block internally. This endpoint will accept a SignedBeaconBlock before Bellatrix. This endpoint will accept a SignedBeaconBlock before Bellatrix.

Example Request and Result for /v2/beacon/blinded_blocks

In this section, we provide an illustrative example of a request made to retrieve details contents using the /v2/beacon/blinded_blocks endpoint. Additionally, we present the resulting response containing information about publishing a signed block.

Parameters

Fields	Type	Description
Eth-Consensus-Version	string	Version of the block being submitted, if using SSZ encoding.
broadcast_validation	string	Level of validation that must be applied to a block before it is broadcast.

Possible values for broadcast_validation param:

• gossip (default): lightweight gossip checks only

• consensus: full consensus checks, including validation of all signatures and blocks fields except for the execution payload transactions.

• consensus_and_equivocation: the same as consensus, with an extra equivocation check immediately before the block is broadcast. If the block is found to be an equivocation it fails validation.

If the block fails the requested level of a validation a 400 status MUST be returned immediately and the block MUST NOT be broadcast to the network.

If validation succeeds, the block must still be fully verified before it is incorporated into the state and a 20x status is returned to the caller.

The example in this section uses a non-existing project id.

Make sure you replace it with your Ethereum Holesky Beacon endpoint when issuing the API calls.

Don't have a project id? Here's a straightforward guide on how to obtain one!
