Warning

Whilst this API is implemented in this version of Zilliqa 2.0, the implementation is not yet complete. Use with caution!

This API is deprecated in ZQ2. It now returns a placeholder value for backwards compatibility.

Returns the current number of validated Directory Service blocks in the network. This is represented as a String.
