RPC method

trace_block on Hyperliquid

Supported on SwiftNodes

Measured 2026-10-11 by our weekly probe, which calls trace_block through the same Hyperliquid 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.

trace_block on Hyperliquid: what we measured

  • Default Hyperliquid routing keeps state for roughly the last 1,000,000 blocks (about 11.4 days of Hyperliquid history). Tracing a block older than that needs historical state. Add &archive=1 to send the request to archive upstreams (paid plans).

Example request

curl -s https://rpc.swiftnodes.io/rpc/hyperliquid?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/hyperliquid?key=YOUR_API_KEY") });

// Any JSON-RPC method, typed loosely: trace_block on Hyperliquid
const result = await client.request({
  method: "trace_block",
  params: ["latest"],
});

Frequently asked questions

Does Hyperliquid support trace_block?

Yes. trace_block answered correctly on the SwiftNodes Hyperliquid endpoint in our weekly method probe (2026-10-11), which sends real requests through the customer path.

Are there limits on trace_block on Hyperliquid?

Default Hyperliquid routing keeps state for roughly the last 1,000,000 blocks (about 11.4 days of Hyperliquid history). Tracing a block older than that needs historical state. Add &archive=1 to send the request to archive upstreams (paid plans).
