# Struct GlobalVariables

Module: `noir_aztec::protocol::abis::global_variables`

```rust
pub struct GlobalVariables {
    pub chain_id: Field,
    pub version: Field,
    pub block_number: u32,
    pub slot_number: Field,
    pub timestamp: u64,
    pub coinbase: EthAddress,
    pub fee_recipient: AztecAddress,
    pub gas_fees: GasFees,
}
```
