GOOGLE BLOCKCHAIN NODE

Google Cloud Compute Infrastructure

Hello everyone, I am not sure if this is the right place to post this, however, I need some help.

I am new to GCP and I am trying to run an ethereum validator node on Google Cloud platform using the Blockchain node engine. So far, I’ve created a new node and synced it with the ethereum network. I wanted to get the latest block, so I ran:

curl -H POST \
  -H "X-goog-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "id": 1,
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "eth_getBlockByNumber",
    "params": ["0x1", true]
  }' \
  http://YOUR_NODES_URL

with my node URL and API key, but it just returns the genesis block.

Hello @AN00B ,

Welcome to Google Cloud Community!

It would be best to be in touch on this link with regards to Blockchain Node Engine.

you are requesting block “0x1” which is in fact the genesis block.
