debug_traceCall - Mantle

Example code for the debug_traceCall JSON-RPC method. Complete guide on how to use debug_traceCall JSON-RPC in GetBlock Web3 documentation.

This method traces a call without creating a transaction. Similar to eth_call but provides full EVM execution trace for debugging purposes.

Parameters

Parameter

Type

Description

callObject
