trace_replayBlockTransactions

POST

Traces the execution of all transactions included in a specified block. This method provides detailed trace information for all transactions executed in that block and is used to analyze the transaction processing at the block level.
param[0]
blockNumberOrTagstringrequired
Use either block number or block tag to specify a block.
  • Block number: Hexadecimal string (e.g. "0x1")
  • Block tag: Enum string (e.g. "latest", "earliest", "pending")
    • earliest: The oldest available block on the chain.
    • finalized: A recently finalized block that can no longer be changed. Primarily used in proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchains.
    • safe: A recent block considered safe by the network (immune to reorgs).
    • latest: The most recent block on the chain (may be subject to reorgs).
    • pending: The next block to be mined, including pending transactions in the mempool.
param[1]
traceTypearrayrequired
Trace type specifies the data types used when querying detailed execution information for a specific transaction or block on the Ethereum blockchain. This array can contain the following three string values:
  • vmTrace: Traces the virtual machine's step-by-step execution in detail. This includes memory state, stack state, and the result of each execution instruction.
  • trace: Provides step-by-step logs of transaction execution. These logs include call flow and details of internal transactions that occurred.
  • stateDiff: Shows the difference in account state before and after transaction execution. This includes changed storage keys and values, account balance changes, and contract code changes.
This information helps developers better understand the transaction processing flow and debug. Each type provides detailed information on a specific aspect of the blockchain to clearly understand the impact of a transaction.
