+### getConfirmedSignaturesForAddress2
+
+Returns confirmed signatures for transactions involving an
+address backwards in time from the provided signature or most recent confirmed block
+
+#### Parameters:
+* `<string>` - account address as base-58 encoded string
+* `<object>` - (optional) Configuration object containing the following fields:
+  * `before: <string>` - (optional) start searching backwards from this transaction signature.
+                         If not provided the search starts from the top of the highest max confirmed block.
+  * `limit: <number>` - (optional) maximum transaction signatures to return (between 1 and 1,000, default: 1,000).
+
+#### Results:
+The result field will be an array of transaction signature information, ordered
+from newest to oldest transaction:
+* `<object>`
+  * `signature: <string>` - transaction signature as base-58 encoded string
+  * `slot: <u64>` - The slot that contains the block with the transaction
+  * `err: <object | null>` - Error if transaction failed, null if transaction succeeded. [TransactionError definitions](https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/blob/master/sdk/src/transaction.rs#L14)
+  * `memo: <string |null>` - Memo associated with the transaction, null if no memo is present
+
+#### Example:
+```bash
