  "params": [5]
}'

​
Using web3.js

const commitment = await connection.getBlockCommitment(5);
console.log(commitment);

Notes

  1. Returns commitment information for a specific block
  2. The commitment array indicates stake weight distribution
  3. The totalStake value represents the total active stake in the current epoch
  4. The response is immediate as it reads from the current state

​
Best Practices

  1. Use this method to verify block confirmation status
  2. Compare commitment values to understand consensus levels
  3. Handle network errors and retry when appropriate
