Traces

Traces keep track of the actions that modify the internal state of the EVM.

Typically, trace_id for traces are unique, unless there are duplicate transactions on the blockchain.

Refer to Traces ID and Address for more information and examples.

trace_type

The value of the method such as call, create, create2, suicide.

call

call_type

The type of method such as call, delegatecall, staticcall. Learn more here.

Additional Info

Trace Address field different from Etherscan/Explorers

The number of traces Allium has indexed for this transaction is 12, whereas if you count the number of traces that Etherscan has on this page, you'll notice that it is 11. Etherscan has chosen to leave out certain types of traces and coupled with how trace addresses are generated, it will result in a different trace address numbering scheme.

In the example above, the trace in the example as indexed by Allium is {0,0,2,0} whereas on Etherscan/Block Explorer it's as follows:
