Block
As discussed earlier, blocks are the main building blocks of a blockchain. Ethereum blocks consist of various components, which are described as follows:
The block header
The transactions list
The list of headers of Ommers or Uncles
The transaction list is simply a list of all transactions included in the block. In addition, the list of headers of Uncles is also included in the block. The most important and complex part is the block header, which is discussed here.
Block header
Block headers are the most critical and detailed components of an Ethereum block. The header contains valuable information, which is described in detail here.
Parent hash
This is the Keccak 256-bit hash of the parent (previous) block's header.
Ommers hash
This is the Keccak 256-bit hash of the list of Ommers (Uncles) blocks included in the block.
Beneficiary
Beneficiary field contains the 160-bit address of the recipient that will receive the mining reward once the block is successfully mined.
State root
