RPC method

debug_traceCall on opBNB

Supported on SwiftNodes

Measured 2026-10-11 by our weekly probe, which calls debug_traceCall through the same opBNB endpoint customers use.

What debug_traceCall does

Executes a call against a block's state and returns its execution trace (with a tracer such as callTracer), without sending a transaction. It is the standard way to see what a call would do internally before you submit it.

debug_traceCall on opBNB: what we measured

  • Default opBNB routing keeps state for roughly the last 64 blocks (about 16 seconds of opBNB history). Tracing against a block older than that needs historical state. Archive routing did not measure as available on this chain.

Example request

curl -s https://rpc.swiftnodes.io/rpc/opbnb?key=YOUR_API_KEY \
  -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"debug_traceCall","params":[{"to":"0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000","data":"0x"},"latest",{"tracer":"callTracer"}]}'
import { createPublicClient, http } from "viem";

const client = createPublicClient({ transport: http("https://rpc.swiftnodes.io/rpc/opbnb?key=YOUR_API_KEY") });

// Any JSON-RPC method, typed loosely: debug_traceCall on opBNB
const result = await client.request({
  method: "debug_traceCall",
  params: [{"to":"0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000","data":"0x"},"latest",{"tracer":"callTracer"}],
});

Frequently asked questions

Does opBNB support debug_traceCall?

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

Are there limits on debug_traceCall on opBNB?

Default opBNB routing keeps state for roughly the last 64 blocks (about 16 seconds of opBNB history). Tracing against a block older than that needs historical state. Archive routing did not measure as available on this chain.

opBNB endpoints, live block height and WebSocket status are on the opBNB RPC page.

One key covers every chain we serve, and SwiftNodes has a free tier.
