I cannot reproduce that. Does it happen with any rpc call?

What version of node do you have installed? node --version Top level await was added in a later release.

Thanks! It's been a while since I touch JS or TS. My node version was v14.17.4.

This works now with node v16.16.0!

FYI, I got hard error, Error while loading BLS module, when using v18.5.0.

Error while loading BLS module, when using v18.5.0.

I stick with the LTS version for everything, so not super surprised. Keep the feedback coming. Hope you find this useful!
