Description

Goal

Add a base-layer blockhash registry.

Why

The current behavior or architecture does not provide this outcome.

Scope

Problem Many services make Base layer request for latest blockhash, that result in too many requests

Proposed Solution Create a singleton that would serve a purpose of providing consumers a valid blockhash, thus minimizing RPC usage

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement a singleton that caches the latest blockhash from the Base layer to reduce RPC calls. Focus on thread safety and periodic refresh.
