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