debug_traceBlockByHash. Run eth_call on top of a block

debug_traceCall - base [Value: 90CU]
Trace the execution of a call without broadcasting
Use cases

Use cases

  • Simulate a transaction execution without sending it on-chain
  • Trace internal smart contract operations during a call
  • Debug gas usage and execution logic before broadcasting
Constraints

Constraints

  • Requires a valid call object and block number/state
  • Node must support `debug_traceCall`
  • High resource usage for large or complex calls
