RPC method
trace_block on Ethereum Classic
Supported on SwiftNodes
Measured 2026-10-11 by our weekly probe, which calls trace_block through the same Ethereum Classic endpoint customers use.
What trace_block does
Returns Parity-style traces for every transaction in a block: internal calls, contract creations and value transfers. Indexers use it to reconstruct internal ETH movements that receipts do not show.
Example request
curl -s https://rpc.swiftnodes.io/rpc/etc?key=YOUR_API_KEY \
-X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"trace_block","params":["latest"]}'import { createPublicClient, http } from "viem";
const client = createPublicClient({ transport: http("https://rpc.swiftnodes.io/rpc/etc?key=YOUR_API_KEY") });
// Any JSON-RPC method, typed loosely: trace_block on Ethereum Classic
const result = await client.request({
method: "trace_block",
params: ["latest"],
