trace_call - Berachain RPC Method

Trace a call without creating a transaction on Berachain. Requires archive node for liquidity-aligned DeFi (Infrared, Kodiak), yield farming, and validator-integrated liquidity incentives.

Traces a call without creating a transaction on Berachain, returning the trace output.

Archive Node Required

This method requires an archive node. It is not available on full nodes.

When to Use This Method

  • Trace simulated execution of multiple calls - Preview internal calls before committing a transaction on Berachain
  • Pre-execution analysis - Test contract interactions without spending gas for liquidity-aligned DeFi (Infrared, Kodiak), yield farming, and validator-integrated liquidity incentives
  • Batch trace simulations - Execute several calls sequentially where each can depend on prior state changes
  • Contract interaction analysis - Understand how multiple contracts interact through a simulated execution chain

Best Practices

  • Similar to debug_traceCall but supports multiple calls in one request
  • Each call has its own trace configuration for fine-grained control
  • Use for batch simulation analysis of dependent call sequences
  • Requires archive node access for historical block tracing
