💅 LIGHTNING-NOTIFICATION-BLOCK_ADDED(7) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to lightning-notification-block_added, section 7 of the manual — the one where we talk about notifications, and specifically the one that goes "hey girl, a new block just dropped" 🔥

✨ NAME ✨

block_added — the notification that's literally telling you a block has been added to the blockchain. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 👑

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

hii so this notification? it was added in v22.11 — so if you're on anything older, she is not there, no cap. 🙈

the block_added notification gets sent whenever the node receives a new block from the blockchain. every time. that's the whole trigger. the node sees a new block, it fires this off, you get notified. slay. 💖

🎀 NOTIFICATION PAYLOAD 🎀

here's what actually shows up in the payload, and yes, every field matters so don't skip:

  • hash (hash) — the hash of the block. iconic identifier behavior. ⭐
  • height (u32) — the total block height. a u32, exactly as written, don't come for me. 📏

that's the whole page, bestie — tiny but mighty, fr fr. 🦋

lowkey a reminder: keep the field types exactly as they are (hash and u32), because the payload is the payload and we don't freestyle with types around here. 💅

sign-off szn 🌈 — this lil beauty comes to you from Core Lightning v26.06.9, page LIGHTNING-NOTIFICATION-BLOCK_ADDED(7). go forth and get notified, mwah 🫶💜
