# getStateRootHashLatest

Returns the state root hash of the latest block. Used as a consistent snapshot reference for state queries.

## Import

```ts
import { RpcClient, HttpHandler } from 'casper-js-sdk';
```

## Usage

```ts
const { stateRootHash } = await rpcClient.getStateRootHashLatest();

// Use for consistent state queries
const balance = await rpcClient.getDictionaryItem(
  stateRootHash,
  dictionaryURef,
  itemKey
);
```

## Return Value

`Promise<ChainGetStateRootHashResult>`

```ts
interface ChainGetStateRootHashResult {
  stateRootHash: string; // hex string
}
```

## Notes

- State root hashes change with every block.
- Pass the same `stateRootHash` to multiple queries to get a consistent snapshot.
