I am going to set up a new node on mainnet following the steps illustrated in [Join the Cosmos Hub Mainnet | Cosmos Hub](https://hub.cosmos.network/main/gaia-tutorials/join-mainnet.html), while the node is syncing with the mainnet, I would like to retrieve the latest block height synced by the node using tendermint rpc [Tendermint RPC](https://docs.tendermint.com/master/rpc/) from time to time, I couldn’t figure out how to do it, can someone please help? Thanks!

> Hi, I made a transaction from Binance platform (of my ATOM balance) to a BNB Wallet in a platform named UNICAS (i know, im a dummy - my first time and still figuring things out). Binance claims that they cannot help because the transaction shows successful on their platform. Gave the Transcation Hash ID to Unicas staff so they could reverse. However, Unicas claims that they are not able to locate such a Transaction using the Hash ID i gave them. This is really worrying me… Can someone please …
