Denim activated on Base Sepolia on October 21, 2026, replacing Flashblocks with canonical 200ms blocks. Flashblocks subscriptions and the "pending" block tag no longer provide preconfirmation data on Sepolia. Use canonical blocks and state instead. Base Mainnet continues to use Flashblocks until its own Denim activation, which is targeting November 2026.
See the Denim migration steps.
Parameters
- transactionobjectREQUIRED
The transaction call object which contains the following fields:
- fromstring
The address from which the transaction is sent
- tostringREQUIRED
The address to which the transaction is addressed
- gasinteger
The integer of gas provided for the transaction execution
- gasPriceinteger
The integer of gasPrice used for each paid gas encoded as hexadecimal
- valueinteger
The integer of value sent with this transaction encoded as hexadecimal
- datastring
The hash of the method signature and encoded parameters. For more information, see the Contract ABI description in the Solidity documentation
- blockNumber/tagstringREQUIRED
The block number in hexadecimal format or the string latest, earliest, pending, safe or finalized (safe and finalized tags are only supported on Ethereum, Gnosis, Arbitrum, Arbitrum Nova and Avalanche C-chain), see the default block parameter description in the official Ethereum documentation
- Objectobject
The State Override Set option allows you to change the state of a contract before executing the call, which means you can modify the values of variables stored in the contract, such as balances and approvals for that call without actually modifying the contract. Each address maps to an object containing:
- balancestring
The fake balance to set for the account before executing the call
- noncestring
The fake nonce to set for the account before executing the call
- codestring
The fake EVM bytecode to inject into the account before executing the call
- stateobject
The fake key-value mapping to override all slots in the account storage before executing the call
- stateDiffinteger
The fake key-value mapping to override individual slots in the account storage before executing the call
Returns
- data
The return value of the executed contract method
