trace_replayBlockTransactions - Ink RPC Method
Replay all transactions in a block and return traces on Ink. Requires archive node for low-fee DeFi applications, cross-chain liquidity, and EVM-compatible smart contracts.
Replays all transactions in a block on Ink and returns the requested traces.
Archive Node Required
This method requires an archive node. It is not available on full nodes.
When to Use This Method
- Replay all transactions in a block - Get vmTrace, stateDiff, and trace for every transaction in a block on Ink
- Comprehensive block-level execution analysis - Audit exactly how each transaction in a block modified state for low-fee DeFi applications, cross-chain liquidity, and EVM-compatible smart contracts
- Audit entire block execution - Verify that all transactions in a block executed as expected
- Historical block replay - Re-execute blocks at any point in Ink chain history
Best Practices
- Very resource-intensive; each transaction is fully traced with all requested types
- Limit to small blocks or use specific tracer types to reduce response size
- Request only the trace types you actually need to minimize overhead
- Requires archive node access; not available on standard full nodes
