eth_getBlockByNumber on HyperEVM
Fetches a full block by number (or a tag like "latest", "safe", "finalized"). Pass true as the second argument to include full transaction objects, false for hashes only.
The fullTransactions flag is the cost lever — true returns every tx object (large payloads on busy chains), false returns only hashes. Prefer the finalized tag over latest for anything that must survive a reorg.

Blocks on HyperEVM
HyperEVM uses a dual-block architecture: small blocks land roughly every second for ordinary transactions, with larger-capacity "big blocks" interleaved about once a minute for heavier deployments. Block numbers advance across both.
