Fix #3974: Add chain-specific block time support - #4006
Conversation
Previously, TrueBlocks used hardcoded Ethereum mainnet block times (13s) for all chains, causing incorrect timestamp calculations for chains like Optimism (2s blocks). Changes: - Add BlockTime field to ChainGroup configuration structure - Create GetBlockTime() helper that uses chain-specific values - Update timestamp calculations in tsdb.go and resolve.go - Add default block times for 25+ known chains - Update config with block times for existing chains - Add tests for multi-chain block time calculations This ensures accurate timestamp-to-block conversions for all supported chains. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

this is a bigger change, so I wouldn't be surprised if something is wrong here |
The test was expecting rounding behavior, but the actual implementation uses truncation when converting float to integer. Updated test to match actual behavior: 3600/13.0 = 276.92 truncates to 276, not 277.

The primary reason why I never fixed this issue was because I never wanted to have a list of "known chains" in our code. This kills the long tail and is unmaintainable over the long term as (a) new chains become promenent, and (b) old chains change their block times. I recognize the issue (there's probably comments in the code saying so), but I'd much prefer this to be in a configuration file than a source code file. My real preference would be a file in each chain's ~/Library/Application Support/TrueBlocks/config//<chain_data.csv> or something similar (different for Linux). In this way, in any frontend apps (which we're building now) we can edit a config file through a frontend form, for example, if we want to allow end users to add their own chains. I truly do thank you for the contribution, but I can't merge this as it is. |

Oh sorry. Just reviewing this a second time. I see that you have the ability to put the block time in the config file (per chain) and then have some fallback values for known chains. Let me review this one more time...I'll get back to you. |

Merged. |
Summary
Problem
TrueBlocks was using hardcoded Ethereum mainnet block times (13 seconds) for all chains. This caused incorrect timestamp calculations for chains with different block times:
