If a node does not return safe or finalized, the row is shown as unavailable.

How It Works

The command calls eth_getBlockByNumber with these tags:

latest
safe
finalized

The latest block is required. Safe and finalized are optional because local dev nodes or older RPC configurations may not return them.
