eth_call - Avalanche

eth_call. Execute a transaction call without broadcasting it

eth_call - avalanche [Value: 21CU]
Performs a message call instantly without recording it as a transaction on the blockchain
Use cases

Use cases

  • Simulate contract function execution without blockchain state change
  • Retrieve return values from smart contract functions
  • Estimate gas usage for contract function calls
Constraints

Constraints

  • Starting from Geth 1.9.13, eth_call checks the sender's balance to ensure sufficient gas for execution if either: The gas_price parameter is populated, the contract function modifies the blockchain state.
  • In these cases, the from address must have enough gas as ifexecuting a write transaction, even though eth_call itself doesn't consume gas.
