How to Use It

// yarn add @tatumio/tatum

import { TatumSDK, Solana, Network, Commitment } from '@tatumio/tatum'

const tatum = (await TatumSDK.init) < Solana > { network: Network.SOLANA }

const blockhash = 'J7rBdM6AecPDEZp8aPq5iPSNKVkU5Q76F3oAV4eW5wsW'
const options = {
  commitment: Commitment.Processed,
  minContextSlot: 5,
} // optional

const res = await tatum.rpc.isBlockhashValid(blockhash, options)

await tatum.destroy() // Destroy Tatum SDK - needed for stopping background jobs
