Tip: {
    blockHeader: BlockHeader;
    slotTimeUTC: ISO8601;
}

A Tip represents the last block read in a "projection" process. In the context of Cardano and Blockchain in general, a Projection is about deriving a state from a ledger by streaming the block events. These States (e.g : contract details) are eventually consistent, and the Tip gives you an approximate notion on how freshly updated they are.
