Description

Add a new JavaScript file (e.g., blockchainInfo.js) that interacts directly with the blockchain using Ethers.js. The file should include basic read-only functions such as:

  • getBalance(address) → Returns the ETH balance of a given address
  • getCurrentBlock() → Returns the current block number

Suggestions:

  • Use ethers.providers.JsonRpcProvider() for connection
  • Display the results clearly in the console
  • Handle errors gracefully

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement the getBalance and getCurrentBlock functions using Ethers.js JsonRpcProvider, test with a public RPC URL, and handle errors gracefully.
