[sgrsaga]

Description

Hedera mainnet is having issues with calling this block "0x4475775" with Json RPC method "eth_getBlockByNumber"

Request

curl --location "mynode-ip" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data "{
    \"method\":\"eth_getBlockByNumber\",
    \"params\":[\"0x4475775\", true],
    \"id\":1,
    \"jsonrpc\":\"2.0\"
}"

Response:
Error code 500

{
    "error": {
        "code": -32603,
        "message": "[Request ID: 5412474a-5422-4882-b409-243c7d834e35] Error invoking RPC: Invalid value - cannot pass negative number"
    },
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1
}

But same block can be called via direct call

https://mymainnet-node/api/v1/blocks/71784309

It returns value:

}

Similar issue is reported in #2557

Further I verified the same call with public end point as well and we get the same error.

curl --location "https://mainnet.hashio.io/api" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data "{
    \"method\":\"eth_getBlockByNumber\",
    \"params\":[\"0x4475775\", true],
    \"id\":1,
    \"jsonrpc\":\"2.0\"
}"

    \"id\":1,
