Getting a Block Summary
Block Summary returns an overview of a single block and explains it in Cognivo Chat.
What It Does
Given a block number, this tool summarizes what happened in that block:
- Transaction count - how many transactions the block contains
- Gas used - the total gas consumed by the block
- Timestamp - when the block was produced
Cognivo presents this as a short, readable summary.
When to Use It
- You want a quick sense of how busy a block was
- You are cross-referencing a transaction and want context about the block it landed in
- You want to check when a block was produced
What You Need
The block number (or a reference such as the latest block). Mention the network if it is not Ethereum.
How to Use It
Ask in natural language inside Cognivo Chat, with no commands. For example:
Give me a summary of block 19000000 on Ethereum
Summarize the latest block
Cognivo recognizes the request and returns the summary automatically.
Supported Networks
- Ethereum
- Base
- BNB Chain
What the Result Shows
A concise overview of the block, including how many transactions it holds, the gas used, and the time it was produced. You can follow up by asking about specific transactions within the block.
Limitations
- The block must exist on the network you name.
- A block summary describes the block as a whole. To inspect an individual transaction, use Transaction Lookup.
