Ethereum rpc service to fetch the latest transaction using its hash. However, I've noticed that there are instances where the service returns null. I'm curious if this could be attributed to latency in any way.

Issues with retrieving latest transactions with Ethereum rpc

Expert

I've recently been experimenting with the Ankr Ethereum rpc service to fetch the latest transaction using its hash. However, I've noticed that there are instances where the service returns null. I'm curious if this could be attributed to latency in any way.

The system is geographically distributed across numerous nodes. Occasionally, you might encounter a node that is slightly lagging behind in block height due to the distributed nature of the system. Ankr tolerance for such discrepancies is minimal. However, retrying the process should resolve any issues. Keep in mind that global block and transaction propagation can take up to 3 seconds, leading to occasional instances where certain Ankr nodes experience slight delays.
