Pull a block stream in one command

substreams auth
substreams run common@latest map_clocks -e base -s -100 -o jsonl

Streams the 100 most recent blocks from Base Chain. -s -100 is read as an offset back from chain head, so no head lookup is needed.

Stream Flashblocks for 200ms preconfirmations

The Base sequencer emits a partial block every 200ms — up to ten per block height — carrying transactions as soon as they are sequenced rather than at full block confirmation. Substreams surfaces these as partial blocks on the StreamingFast Base Mainnet endpoint and only reprocesses transactions it has not already seen. Modules must avoid block-level aggregation and work off transactionTraces to stay deterministic, and it needs Substreams CLI v1.17.9 or newer. Beta.
