getchaintips
Return information about all known tips in the block tree, including the main chain as well as orphaned branches.
Result:
[ (json array)
{ (json object)
"height" : n, (numeric) height of the chain tip
"hash" : "hex", (string) block hash of the tip
"branchlen" : n, (numeric) zero for main chain, otherwise length of branch connecting the tip to the main chain
"status" : "str" (string) status of the chain, "active" for the main chain
Possible values for status:
1. "invalid" This branch contains at least one invalid block
2. "headers-only" Not all blocks for this branch are available, but the headers are valid
3. "valid-headers" All blocks are available for this branch, but they were never fully validated
4. "valid-fork" This branch is not part of the active chain, but is fully validated
5. "active" This is the tip of the active main chain, which is certainly valid
