Tempo RPC endpoint: endpoint URLs, plans and pricing.
Replays a transaction on Tempo 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 and trace a transaction execution - Get vmTrace, stateDiff, and trace in a single call for comprehensive analysis on Tempo
- State diff extraction - See exact account balance, nonce, code, and storage changes caused by a transaction for merchant settlement, treasury operations, payout automation, and stablecoin-native financial applications
- VM trace debugging - Get opcode-level execution details alongside the structured call trace
- Comprehensive transaction analysis - Combine all three trace types in one request for complete execution visibility
Best Practices
- Returns more detailed trace data than debug_traceTransaction
- Combine vmTrace with trace array for a full picture of opcode and call-level execution
- Request all three trace types (trace, vmTrace, stateDiff) for maximum detail
- Requires archive node access; not available on standard full nodes
