Phantom API — Pharos Latest Block

Use this endpoint when you need real-time, pay-per-call access to the current chain tip on the Pharos network without running your own node or managing RPC credentials. Prefer it for lightweight polling or one-off queries where a subscription-based node provider is overkill. Especially useful in agent workflows that need on-chain timing signals or confirmation of block advancement.
