Get shard block proof

GET
/api/v2/getShardBlockProof

Returns a Merkle proof that links a shardchain block to a masterchain block. This proof cryptographically verifies that the shard block is part of the canonical chain. Used by light clients and cross-chain bridges to verify shard data without trusting the API.

Authorization

X-API-Key<token>

API key header of the form X-API-Key: <token>, where <token> is the API key. Requests without a key are limited to 1 RPS. Refer to the authentication guide for details.

In: header

Query Parameters

workchain*integer

The workchain to query. Use -1 for masterchain (validators, system contracts, config) or 0 for basechain (regular accounts and contracts). Most user transactions happen on workchain 0.

Formatint32
shard*string

The shard identifier. Masterchain always uses -9223372036854775808. For basechain, shards split and merge dynamically. Use the shards endpoint to discover current shard configuration.

seqno*integer

Masterchain block sequence number (block height). Used to query state at a specific point in time. If omitted, returns the current state.

Formatint32
from_seqno?integer

Seqno of masterchain block starting from which proof is required. If not specified latest masterchain block is used
