### Compute Unit Value

- determined by block size (bytes)   [determined by block size (bytes)](https://docs.blockdaemon.com/reference/getblockbynumber#compute-unit-value-determined-by-block-size-bytes)

### Truncation Info

For responses that have big numbers (such as in transfer amounts from blockchain transactions), truncation might be applied from Javascript’s native JSON parser.

To avoid this behavior, we recommend using a library such as [`json-bigint`](https://github.com/sidorares/json-bigint) or [`lossless-json`](https://github.com/josdejong/lossless-json)
