source

Attempt to run the transaction in the exact same manner as it was executed on the network. It will replay any transaction that may have been executed prior to this one before it will finally attempt to execute the transaction that corresponds to the given hash.

In addition to the hash of the transaction you may give it a secondary optional argument, which specifies the options for this specific call. The possible options are:

  • disableStorage: {boolean} Setting this to true will disable storage capture (default = false).
  • disableMemory: {boolean} Setting this to true will disable memory capture (default = false).
  • disableStack: {boolean} Setting this to true will disable stack capture (default = false).
arguments
  • transactionHash: DATA : Hash of the transaction to trace.
  • options?: TransactionTraceOptions : See options in source.
returns
Promise<TraceTransactionResult>

: Returns the gas, structLogs, and returnValue for the traced transaction.

The structLogs are an array of logs, which contains the following fields:

  • depth: The execution depth.
  • error: Information about an error, if one occurred.

  • gasCost: The cost of gas in wei.
  • memory: An array containing the contract's memory data.

source

Creates new message call transaction or a contract creation, if the data field contains code.

Transaction call object:

  • from: DATA, 20 bytes (optional) - The address the transaction is sent from.
  • to: DATA, 20 bytes - The address the transaction is sent to.
  • gas: QUANTITY (optional) - Integer of the maximum gas allowance for the transaction.

eth_sign(address: DATA, message: DATA): Promise<string>

source

The sign method calculates an Ethereum specific signature with: sign(keccak256("\x19Ethereum Signed Message:\n" + message.length + message))).

By adding a prefix to the message makes the calculated signature recognizable as an Ethereum specific signature. This prevents misuse where a malicious DApp can sign arbitrary data (e.g. transaction) and use the signature to impersonate the victim.

Note the address to sign with must be unlocked.

arguments
  • address: DATA : Address to sign with.
  • message: DATA : Message to sign.
returns
Promise<string>

: Signature - a hex encoded 129 byte array starting with 0x. It encodes the r, s, and v parameters from appendix F of the yellow paper in big-endian format. Bytes 0...64 contain the r parameter, bytes 64...128 the s parameter, and the last byte the v parameter. Note that the v parameter includes the chain id as specified in EIP-155.

example 
const [account] = await provider.request({ method: "eth_accounts", params: [] });
const msg = "0x307866666666666666666666";
const signature = await provider.request({ method: "eth_sign", params: [account, msg] });
console.log(signature);

eth_signTransaction(transaction: TypedRpcTransaction): Promise<string>

  • gas: QUANTITY (optional) - Integer of the maximum gas allowance for the transaction.
  • gasPrice: QUANTITY (optional) - Integer of the price of gas in wei.
  • value: QUANTITY (optional) - Integer of the value in wei.
  • data: DATA (optional) - Hash of the method signature and the ABI encoded parameters.
