trace_block on Story
Measured 2026-10-11 by our weekly probe, which calls trace_block through the same Story 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.
What to use instead on Story
Story did not serve the trace_* namespace in our probe, which is common on OP Stack and zk chains. debug_traceCall did not measure as available either, so read what you can from receipts and logs, which are served.
Example request
curl -s https://rpc.swiftnodes.io/rpc/story?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/story?key=YOUR_API_KEY") });
// Any JSON-RPC method, typed loosely: trace_block on Story
const result = await client.request({
method: "trace_block",
params: ["latest"],

Frequently asked questions
Does Story support trace_block?
Not on our Story upstreams: trace_block failed in our weekly method probe (2026-10-11). Story did not serve the trace_* namespace in our probe, which is common on OP Stack and zk chains. debug_traceCall did not measure as available either, so read what you can from receipts and logs, which are served.
Story endpoints, live block height and WebSocket status are on the Story RPC page.
One key covers every chain we serve, and SwiftNodes has a free tier.
