Webhook notifications for new blocks and smart contract events

Currently, our backend polls eth_blockNumber every three seconds just to check if a new block has appeared. It’s wasteful — consumes CU, adds traffic, and introduces delays in data updates.

It would make much more sense to have webhook or push notifications from GetBlock. For example, when a new block or an ERC-20 Transfer() event appears, your service could send a POST request to our endpoint with a payload like { blockNumber, txCount, events[] }.

This approach would:

  • eliminate constant polling,

  • deliver data in real time,

  • speed up UI updates,

  • and make real-time analytics possible without a websocket layer.

Webhook triggers would be a huge improvement for anyone building DeFi services or on-chain activity trackers.”
