trace_filter - Gnosis RPC Method

Filter traces by address and block range on Gnosis. Requires archive node for prediction markets (largest by market cap), Safe wallet infrastructure, CoW Protocol DEX, and Gnosis Pay card integration.

Returns traces matching a filter on Gnosis.

Archive Node Required

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

When to Use This Method

  • Search for traces matching address criteria - Find all internal transactions involving a specific address on Gnosis
  • Find all interactions with a contract - Track every call, delegate call, and create operation targeting a contract for prediction markets (largest by market cap), Safe wallet infrastructure, CoW Protocol DEX, and Gnosis Pay card integration
  • Audit contract usage patterns - Analyze how contracts are used over time across block ranges
  • Forensic analysis - Investigate transaction patterns and address-level activity across the chain

Best Practices

  • Very resource-intensive on large block ranges; narrow the range as much as possible
  • Use specific fromAddress or toAddress filters to reduce response size
  • Limit block range to small chunks and paginate results
  • Many provider-managed endpoints disable this method due to computational cost
