get_block_tip_latency

Documentation for eth_defi.provider.broken_provider.get_block_tip_latency function.

get_block_tip_latency(web3)[source]

What block tip latency we should use for this JSON-RPC provider

Defaults to zero
If using eth_defi.provider.fallback.FallbackProvider we use 4 blocks latency as multiple providers are unlikely to agree on a chain tip (blocks have not propagated yet).
We have some built-in rules to work out specific providers
You can override this by setting the latency sa web3.block_tip_latency attribute

See the source code of get_default_block_tip_latency() for other rules.
