Flow Client Library (FCL) API Reference

For release updates, see the repo

Configuration

FCL has a mechanism that lets you configure various aspects of FCL. When you move from one instance of the Flow Blockchain to another (Local Emulator to Testnet to Mainnet) the only thing you should need to change for your FCL implementation is your configuration.


Setting Configuration Values

Values only need to be set once. We recommend doing this once and as early in the life cycle as possible. To set a configuration value, the put method on the config instance needs to be called, the put method returns the config instance so they can be chained.

Alternatively, you can set the config by passing a JSON object directly.


_13
import * as fcl from '@onflow/fcl';
_13
_13
fcl
_13
.config() // returns the config instance
_13
.put('foo', 'bar') // configures "foo" to be "bar"
_13
.put('baz', 'buz'); // configures "baz" to be "buz"
_13
_13
// OR
_13
_13
fcl.config({
_13
foo: 'bar',
_13
baz: 'buz',
_13
});

Getting Configuration Values

The config instance has an asynchronous get method. You can also pass it a fallback value.


_15
import * as fcl from '@onflow/fcl';
_15
_15
fcl.config().put('foo', 'bar').put('woot', 5).put('rawr', 7);
_15
_15
const FALLBACK = 1;
_15
_15
async function addStuff() {
_15
var woot = await fcl.config().get('woot', FALLBACK); // will be 5 -- set in the config before
_15
var rawr = await fcl.config().get('rawr', FALLBACK); // will be 7 -- set in the config before
_15
var hmmm = await fcl.config().get('hmmm', FALLBACK); // will be 1 -- uses fallback because this isnt in the config
_15
_15
return woot + rawr + hmmm;
_15
}
_15
_15
addStuff().then((d) => console.log(d)); // 13 (5 + 7 + 1)

Using Contracts in Scripts and Transactions

Address Replacement

Configuration keys that start with 0x will be replaced in FCL scripts and transactions, this allows you to write your script or transaction Cadence code once and not have to change it when you point your application at a difference instance of the Flow Blockchain.


_27
import * as fcl from '@onflow/fcl';
_27
_27
fcl.config().put('0xFungibleToken', '0xf233dcee88fe0abe');
_27
_27
async function myScript() {
_27
return fcl
_27
.send([
_27
fcl.script`
_27
import FungibleToken from 0xFungibleToken // will be replaced with 0xf233dcee88fe0abe because of the configuration
_27
_27
access(all) fun main() { /* Rest of the script goes here */ }
_27
`,
_27
])
_27
.then(fcl.decode);
_27
}
_27
_27
async function myTransaction() {
_27
return fcl
_27
.send([
_27
fcl.transaction`
_27
import FungibleToken from 0xFungibleToken // will be replaced with 0xf233dcee88fe0abe because of the configuration
_27
_27
transaction { /* Rest of the transaction goes here */ }
_27
`,
_27
])
_27
.then(fcl.decode);
_27
}

Example


_14
import * as fcl from '@onflow/fcl';
_14
_14
fcl
_14
.config()
_14
.put('flow.network', 'testnet')
_14
.put('walletconnect.projectId', 'YOUR_PROJECT_ID')
_14
.put('accessNode.api', 'https://rest-testnet.onflow.org')
_14
.put('discovery.wallet', 'https://fcl-discovery.onflow.org/testnet/authn')
_14
.put('app.detail.title', 'Test Harness')
_14
.put('app.detail.icon', 'https://i.imgur.com/r23Zhvu.png')
_14
.put('app.detail.description', 'A test harness for FCL')
_14

_14
.put('service.OpenID.scopes', 'email email_verified name zoneinfo')
_14
.put('0xFlowToken', '0x7e60df042a9c0868');

Using Flow.json

A simpler way to import contracts in scripts and transactions is to use the config.load method to ingest your contracts from your flow.json file. This keeps the import syntax unified across tools and lets FCL figure out which address to use for what network based on the network provided in config. To use config.load you must first import your flow.json file and then pass it to config.load as a parameter.


_10
import { config } from '@onflow/fcl';
_10
import flowJSON from '../flow.json';
_10
_10
config({
_10
'flow.network': 'testnet',
_10
'accessNode.api': 'https://rest-testnet.onflow.org',
_10
'discovery.wallet': `https://fcl-discovery.onflow.org/testnet/authn`,
_10
}).load({ flowJSON });

Let's say your flow.json file looks like this:


_10
{
_10
"contracts": {
_10
"HelloWorld": "cadence/contracts/HelloWorld.cdc"
_10
}
_10
}

Then in your scripts and transactions, all you have to do is:


_10
import "HelloWorld"

FCL will automatically replace the contract name with the address for the network you are using.

Note: never put private keys in your flow.json. You should use the key/location syntax to separate your keys into a separate git ignored file.


Wallet Interactions

These methods allows dapps to interact with FCL compatible wallets in order to authenticate the user and authorize transactions on their behalf.

⚠️These methods are async.


authenticate

⚠️This method can only be used in web browsers.

Calling this method will authenticate the current user via any wallet that supports FCL. Once called, FCL will initiate communication with the configured discovery.wallet endpoint which lets the user select a wallet to authenticate with. Once the wallet provider has authenticated the user, FCL will set the values on the current user object for future use and authorization.

Note

⚠️discovery.wallet value must be set in the configuration before calling this method. See FCL Configuration.

📣 The default discovery endpoint will open an iframe overlay to let the user choose a supported wallet.

Usage


_10
import * as fcl from '@onflow/fcl';
_10
fcl
_10
.config()
_10
.put('accessNode.api', 'https://rest-testnet.onflow.org')
_10
.put('discovery.wallet', 'https://fcl-discovery.onflow.org/testnet/authn');
_10
// anywhere on the page
_10
fcl.authenticate();

Note

⚠️ authenticate can also take a service returned from discovery with fcl.authenticate({ service }).


unauthenticate

⚠️This method can only be used in web browsers.

Logs out the current user and sets the values on the current user object to null.

Note

⚠️The current user must be authenticated first.

Usage


_10
import * as fcl from '@onflow/fcl';
_10
fcl.config().put('accessNode.api', 'https://rest-testnet.onflow.org');
_10
// first authenticate to set current user
_10
fcl.authenticate();
_10
// ... somewhere else & sometime later
_10
fcl.unauthenticate();
_10
// fcl.currentUser.loggedIn === null


reauthenticate

⚠️This method can only be used in web browsers.

A convenience method that calls fcl.unauthenticate() and then fcl.authenticate() for the current user.

Note

⚠️The current user must be authenticated first.

Usage


_10
import * as fcl from '@onflow/fcl';
_10
// first authenticate to set current user
_10
fcl.authenticate();
_10
// ... somewhere else & sometime later
_10
fcl.reauthenticate();
_10
// logs out user and opens up login/sign-up flow


signUp

⚠️This method can only be used in web browsers.

A convenience method that calls and is equivalent to fcl.authenticate().


logIn

⚠️This method can only be used in web browsers.

A convenience method that calls and is equivalent to fcl.authenticate().


authz

A convenience method that produces the needed authorization details for the current user to submit transactions to Flow. It defines a signing function that connects to a user's wallet provider to produce signatures to submit transactions.

📣 You can replace this function with your own authorization function if needed.

Returns

TypeDescription
AuthorizationObjectAn object containing the necessary details from the current user to authorize a transaction in any role.

Usage

Note: The default values for proposer, payer, and authorizations are already fcl.authz so there is no need to include these parameters, it is shown only for example purposes. See more on signing roles.


_22
import * as fcl from '@onflow/fcl';
_22
// login somewhere before
_22
fcl.authenticate();
_22
// once logged in authz will produce values
_22
console.log(fcl.authz);
_22
// prints {addr, signingFunction, keyId, sequenceNum} from the current authenticated user.
_22
_22
const txId = await fcl.mutate({
_22
cadence: `
_22
import Profile from 0xba1132bc08f82fe2
_22
_22
transaction(name: String) {
_22
prepare(account: AuthAccount) {
_22
account.borrow<&{Profile.Owner}>(from: Profile.privatePath)!.setName(name)
_22
}
_22
}
_22
`,
_22
args: (arg, t) => [arg('myName', t.String)],
_22
proposer: fcl.authz, // optional - default is fcl.authz
_22
payer: fcl.authz, // optional - default is fcl.authz
_22
authorizations: [fcl.authz], // optional - default is [fcl.authz]
_22
});


Current User

Holds the current user, if set, and offers a set of functions to manage the authentication and authorization of the user.

⚠️The following methods can only be used in web browsers.


currentUser.subscribe

The callback passed to subscribe will be called when the user authenticates and un-authenticates, making it easy to update the UI accordingly.

Arguments

NameType
callbackfunctionThe callback will be called with the current user as the first argument when the current user is set or removed.

Usage


_24
import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
_24
import * as fcl from '@onflow/fcl';
_24
_24
export function AuthCluster() {
_24
const [user, setUser] = useState({ loggedIn: null });
_24
useEffect(() => fcl.currentUser.subscribe(setUser), []); // sets the callback for FCL to use
_24
_24
if (user.loggedIn) {
_24
return (
_24
<div>
_24
<span>{user?.addr ?? 'No Address'}</span>
_24
<button onClick={fcl.unauthenticate}>Log Out</button> {/* once logged out in setUser(user) will be called */}
_24
</div>
_24
);
_24
} else {
_24
return (
_24
<div>
_24
<button onClick={fcl.logIn}>Log In</button>{' '}
_24
{/* once logged in setUser(user) will be called */}
_24
<button onClick={fcl.signUp}>Sign Up</button> {/* once signed up, setUser(user) will be called */}
_24
</div>
_24
);
_24
}
_24
}


currentUser.snapshot

Returns the current user object. This is the same object that is set and available on fcl.currentUser.subscribe(callback).

Usage


_10
// returns the current user object
_10
const user = fcl.currentUser.snapshot();
_10
_10
// subscribes to the current user object and logs to console on changes
_10
fcl.currentUser.subscribe(console.log);


currentUser.authenticate

Equivalent to fcl.authenticate.


currentUser.unauthenticate

Equivalent to fcl.unauthenticate.


currentUser.authorization

Equivalent to fcl.authz


currentUser.signUserMessage

A method to use allowing the user to personally sign data via FCL Compatible Wallets/Services.

⚠️ This method requires the current user's wallet to support a signing service endpoint. Currently, only Blocto is compatible with this feature by default.

Arguments

NameTypeDescription
messagestring (required)A hexadecimal string to be signed

Returns

TypeDescription
ArrayAn Array of CompositeSignatures: signature

Usage


_10
import * as fcl from '@onflow/fcl';
_10
_10
export const signMessage = async () => {
_10
const MSG = Buffer.from('FOO').toString('hex');
_10
try {
_10
return await currentUser.signUserMessage(MSG);
_10
} catch (error) {
_10
console.log(error);
_10
}
_10
};


Discovery

discovery

Discovery abstracts away code so that developers don't have to deal with the discovery of Flow compatible wallets, integration, or authentication. Using discovery from FCL allows dapps to list and authenticate with wallets while having full control over the UI. Common use cases for this are login or registration pages.

(Alternatively, if you don't need control over your UI you can continue to use the discovery.wallet config value documented in the Quickstart for the simplest configuration.)

⚠️The following methods can only be used in web browsers.

Note

⚠️discovery.authn.endpoint value must be set in the configuration before calling this method. See FCL Configuration.

Suggested Configuration

EnvironmentExample
Mainnethttps://fcl-discovery.onflow.org/api/authn
Testnethttps://fcl-discovery.onflow.org/api/testnet/authn

If the Discovery endpoint is set in config, then you can iterate through authn services and pass the chosen service to authenticate to authenticate a user.

Usage


_24
import './config';
_24
import { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
_24
import * as fcl from '@onflow/fcl';
_24
_24
function Component() {
_24
const [wallets, setWallets] = useState([]);
_24
useEffect(
_24
() => fcl.discovery.authn.subscribe((res) => setWallets(res.results)),
_24
[],
_24
);
_24
_24
return (
_24
<div>
_24
{wallets.map((wallet) => (
_24
<button
_24
key={wallet.provider.address}
_24
onClick={() => fcl.authenticate({ service: wallet })}
_24
>
_24
Login with {wallet.provider.name}
_24
</button>
_24
))}
_24
</div>
_24
);
_24
}

authn

More Configuration

By default, limited functionality services or services that require developer registration, like Ledger or Dapper Wallet, require apps to opt-in in order to display to users. To enable opt-in services in an application, use the discovery.authn.include property in your configuration with a value of an array of services you'd like your app to opt-in to displaying for users.


_10
import { config } from '@onflow/fcl';
_10
_10
config({
_10
'discovery.authn.endpoint':
_10
'https://fcl-discovery.onflow.org/api/testnet/authn', // Endpoint set to Testnet
_10
'discovery.authn.include': ['0x9d2e44203cb13051'], // Ledger wallet address on Testnet set to be included
_10
});

discovery.authn.snapshot()

Return a list of authn services.

discovery.authn.subscribe(callback)

The callback sent to subscribe will be called with a list of authn services.


On-chain Interactions

📣 These methods can be used in browsers and NodeJS.

These methods allows dapps to interact directly with the Flow blockchain via a set of functions that currently use the Access Node API.


Query and Mutate Flow with Cadence

If you want to run arbitrary Cadence scripts on the blockchain, these methods offer a convenient way to do so without having to build, send, and decode interactions.

query

Allows you to submit scripts to query the blockchain.

Options

Pass in the following as a single object with the following keys.All keys are optional unless otherwise stated.

KeyTypeDescription
cadencestring (required)A valid cadence script.
argsArgumentFunctionAny arguments to the script if needed should be supplied via a function that returns an array of arguments.
limitnumberCompute (Gas) limit for query. Read the documentation about computation cost for information about how computation cost is calculated on Flow.

Returns

TypeDescription
anyA JSON representation of the response.

Usage


_16
import * as fcl from '@onflow/fcl';
_16
_16
const result = await fcl.query({
_16
cadence: `
_16
access(all) fun main(a: Int, b: Int, addr: Address): Int {
_16
log(addr)
_16
return a + b
_16
}
_16
`,
_16
args: (arg, t) => [
_16
arg(7, t.Int), // a: Int
_16
arg(6, t.Int), // b: Int
_16
arg('0xba1132bc08f82fe2', t.Address), // addr: Address
_16
],
_16
});
_16
console.log(result); // 13

Examples


mutate

Allows you to submit transactions to the blockchain to potentially mutate the state.

⚠️When being used in the browser, fcl.mutate uses the built-in fcl.authz function to produce the authorization (signatures) for the current user. When calling this method from Node.js, you will need to supply your own custom authorization function.

Options

Pass in the following as a single object with the following keys. All keys are optional unless otherwise stated.

KeyTypeDescription
cadencestring (required)A valid cadence transaction.
argsArgumentFunctionAny arguments to the script if needed should be supplied via a function that returns an array of arguments.
limitnumberCompute (Gas) limit for query. Read the documentation about computation cost for information about how computation cost is calculated on Flow.
proposerAuthorizationFunctionThe authorization function that returns a valid AuthorizationObject for the proposer role.

Returns

TypeDescription
stringThe transaction ID.

Usage

account.borrow<&{Profile.Owner}>(from: Profile.privatePath)!.setName(name)
_16
}
_16
}
_16
`,
_16
args: (arg, t) => [arg('myName', t.String)],
_16
});

Examples

Examples


Query and mutate the blockchain with Builders

In some cases, you may want to utilize pre-built interactions or build more complex interactions than what the fcl.query and fcl.mutate interface offer. To do this, FCL uses a pattern of building up an interaction with a combination of builders, resolving them, and sending them to the chain.

⚠️Recommendation: Unless you have a specific use case that require usage of these builders, you should be able to achieve most cases with fcl.query({...options} or fcl.mutate({...options})

send

Sends arbitrary scripts, transactions, and requests to Flow.

This method consumes an array of builders that are to be resolved and sent. The builders required to be included in the array depend on the interaction that is being built.

Note

⚠️Must be used in conjuction with fcl.decode(response) to get back correct keys and all values in JSON.

Arguments

NameTypeDescription
builders[Builders]See builder functions.

Returns

TypeDescription
ResponseObjectAn object containing the data returned from the chain. Should always be decoded with fcl.decode() to get back appropriate JSON keys and values.

Usage


_18
import * as fcl from '@onflow/fcl';
_18
_18
// a script only needs to resolve the arguments to the script
_18
const response = await fcl.send([fcl.script`${script}`, fcl.args(args)]);
_18
// note: response values are encoded, call await fcl.decode(response) to get JSON
_18
_18
// a transaction requires multiple 'builders' that need to be resolved prior to being sent to the chain - such as setting the authorizations.
_18
const response = await fcl.send([
_18
fcl.transaction`
_18
${transaction}
_18
`,
_18
fcl.args(args),
_18
fcl.proposer(proposer),
_18
fcl.authorizations(authorizations),
_18
fcl.payer(payer),
_18
fcl.limit(9999),
_18
]);
_18
// note: response contains several values (Cad)


decode

Decodes the response from fcl.send() into the appropriate JSON representation of any values returned from Cadence code.

Note

📣 To define your own decoder, see tutorial.

Arguments

NameTypeDescription
responseResponseObjectShould be the response returned from fcl.send([...])

Returns

TypeDescription
anyA JSON representation of the raw string response depending on the cadence code executed.
The return value can be a single value and type or an object with multiple types.

Usage


_16
import * as fcl from '@onflow/fcl';
_16
_16
// simple script to add 2 numbers
_16
const response = await fcl.send([
_16
fcl.script`
_16
access(all) fun main(int1: Int, int2: Int): Int {
_16
return int1 + int2
_16
}
_16
`,
_16
fcl.args([fcl.arg(1, fcl.t.Int), fcl.arg(2, fcl.t.Int)]),
_16
]);
_16
_16
const decoded = await fcl.decode(response);
_16
_16
assert(3 === decoded);
_16
assert(typeof decoded === 'number');


Builders

These methods fill out various portions of a transaction or script template in order to build, resolve, and send it to the blockchain. A valid populated template is referred to as an Interaction.

⚠️These methods must be used with fcl.send([...builders]).then(fcl.decode)

Query Builders

getAccount

A builder function that returns the interaction to get an account by address.

⚠️Consider using the pre-built interaction fcl.account(address) if you do not need to pair with any other builders.

Arguments

NameTypeDescription
addressAddressAddress of the user account with or without a prefix (both formats are supported).

Returns after decoding

TypeDescription
AccountObjectA JSON representation of a user account.

Usage


_10
import * as fcl from '@onflow/fcl';
_10
_10
// somewhere in an async function
_10
// fcl.account is the same as this function
_10
const getAccount = async (address) => {
_10
const account = await fcl.send([fcl.getAccount(address)]).then(fcl.decode);
_10
return account;
_10
};


getBlock

A builder function that returns the interaction to get the latest block.

📣 Use with fcl.atBlockId() and fcl.atBlockHeight() when building the interaction to get information for older blocks.

Types, Interfaces, and Definitions


Builders

Builders are modular functions that can be coupled together with fcl.send([...builders]) to create an Interaction. The builders needed to create an interaction depend on the script or transaction that is being sent.


Interaction

An interaction is an object containing the information to perform an action on chain.This object is populated through builders and converted into the approriate access node API call. See the interaction object here. A 'partial' interaction is an interaction object that does not have sufficient information to the intended on-chain action. Multiple partial interactions (through builders) can be coupled to create a complete interaction.


CurrentUserObject

KeyValue TypeDefaultDescription
addrAddressnullThe public address of the current user
cidstringnullAllows wallets to specify a content identifier for user metadata.
expiresAtnumbernullAllows wallets to specify a time-frame for a valid session.
f_typestring'USER'A type identifier used internally by FCL.
f_vsnstring'1.0.0'FCL protocol version.
loggedInbooleannullIf the user is logged in.
services[ServiceObject][]A list of trusted services that express ways of interacting with the current user's identity, including means to further discovery, authentication, authorization, or other kinds of interactions.

AuthorizationObject

This type conforms to the interface required for FCL to authorize transaction on behalf o the current user.

KeyValue TypeDescription
addrAddressThe address of the authorizer
signingFunctionfunctionA function that allows FCL to sign using the authorization details and produce a valid signature.
keyIdnumberThe index of the key to use during authorization. (Multiple keys on an account is possible).
sequenceNumnumberA number that is incremented per transaction using they keyId.

SignableObject

An object that contains all the information needed for FCL to sign a message with the user's signature.

KeyValue TypeDescription

keyIdnumberThe index of the key to use during authorization. (Multiple keys on an account is possible).
signaturefunctionA SigningFunction that can produce a valid signature for a user from a message.

AccountObject

The JSON representation of an account on the Flow blockchain.

KeyValue TypeDescription
addressAddressThe address of the account
balancenumberThe FLOW balance of the account in 10^8.
codeCodeThe code of any Cadence contracts stored in the account.
contractsObject: ContractAn object with keys as the contract name deployed and the value as the the cadence string.
keys[KeyObject]Any contracts deployed to this account.

Address

Value TypeDescription
string(formatted)A valid Flow address should be 16 characters in length.
A 0x prefix is optional during inputs.

An authorization function must produce the information of the user that is going to sign and a signing function to use the information to produce a signature.

⚠️This function is always async.

📣 By default FCL exposes fcl.authz that produces the authorization object for the current user (given they are signed in and only on the browser). Replace this with your own function that conforms to this interface to use it wherever an authorization object is needed.

Parameter NameValue TypeDescription
accountAccountObjectThe account of the user that is going to sign.

Returns

Value TypeDescription
Promise<[AuthorizationObject](#authorizationobject)>The object that contains all the information needed by FCL to authorize a user's transaction.

Event Object

KeyValue TypeDescription
blockIdstringID of the block that contains the event.
blockHeightnumberHeight of the block that contains the event.
blockTimestampstringThe timestamp of when the block was sealed in a DateString format. eg. '2021-06-25T13:42:04.227Z'
typeEventNameA string containing the event name.
transactionIdstringCan be used to query transaction information, eg. via a Flow block explorer.
transactionIndexnumberUsed to prevent replay attacks.
eventIndexnumberUsed to prevent replay attacks.
dataanyThe data emitted from the event.

Transaction Statuses

The status of a transaction will depend on the Flow blockchain network and which phase it is in as it completes and is finalized.

Status CodeDescription
0Unknown
1Transaction Pending - Awaiting Finalization
2Transaction Finalized - Awaiting Execution
3Transaction Executed - Awaiting Sealing
4Transaction Sealed - Transaction Complete. At this point the transaction result has been committed to the blockchain.
5Transaction Expired

GRPC Statuses

The access node GRPC implementation follows the standard GRPC Core status code spec. View here.

StreamConnection

A stream connection is an object for subscribing to generic data from any WebSocket data stream. This is the base type for all stream connections. Two channels, close and error, are always available, as they are used to signal the end of the stream and any errors that occur.


_20
interface StreamConnection<ChannelMap extends { [name: string]: any }> {
_20
// Subscribe to a channel
_20
on<C extends keyof ChannelMap>(
_20
channel: C,
_20
listener: (data: ChannelMap[C]) => void,
_20
): this;
_20
on(event: 'close', listener: () => void): this;
_20
on(event: 'error', listener: (err: any) => void): this;
_20
_20
// Unsubscribe from a channel
_20
off<C extends keyof ChannelMap>(
_20
event: C,
_20
listener: (data: ChannelMap[C]) => void,
_20
): this;
_20
off(event: 'close', listener: () => void): this;
_20
off(event: 'error', listener: (err: any) => void): this;
_20
_20
// Close the connection
_20
close(): void;
_20
}

Usage


_13
import { StreamConnection } from "@onflow/typedefs"
_13
_13
const stream: StreamConnection = ...
_13
_13
stream.on("close", () => {
_13
// Handle close
_13
})
_13
_13
stream.on("error", (err) => {
_13
// Handle error
_13
})
_13
_13
stream.close()

EventStream

An event stream is a stream connection that emits events and block heartbeats. Based on the connection parameters, heartbeats will be emitted at least as often as some fixed block height interval. It is a specific variant of a StreamConnection.


_10
type EventStream = StreamConnection<{
_10
events: Event[];
_10
heartbeat: BlockHeartbeat;
_10
}>;

Usage


_14
import { EventStream } from "@onflow/typedefs"
_14
_14
const stream: EventStream = ...
_14
_14
stream.on("events", (events) => {
_14
// Handle events
_14
})
_14
_14
stream.on("heartbeat", (heartbeat) => {
_14
// Handle heartbeat
_14
})
_14
_14
// Close the stream
_14
stream.close()

BlockHeartbeat


_10
export interface BlockHeartbeat {
_10
blockId: string;
_10
blockHeight: number;
_10
timestamp: string;
_10
}

Usage


_10
import { BlockHeartbeat } from "@onflow/typedefs"
_10
_10
const heartbeat: BlockHeartbeat = ...
