Supported methods

Direct RPC accepts standard JSON-RPC calls through your local or managed gateway. Each method page documents its parameters, return value, example, and Direct-specific limits and behavior.

Trace and debug methods

The methods below support execution tracing and simulation. Their pages describe the accepted options, output formats, and limits.

trace_callMany	Up to 20 sequential calls, 30 million gas per call, and 100 million gas in total.
trace_filter	Up to 1,000 blocks per search and 1,000 results per page. Pagination offset cannot exceed 10,000.
trace_get	—
trace_rawTransaction	Up to 30 million gas. Supports call traces (trace), state changes (stateDiff), or both.
trace_replayBlockTransactions	Supports call traces (trace), state changes (stateDiff), or both.
trace_replayTransaction	Supports call traces (trace), state changes (stateDiff), or both.

Debug methods

Method	Notes
debug_traceBlockByHash debug_traceBlockByNumber	Supports callTracer and prestateTracer.
debug_traceCall	Up to 30 million gas. Supports callTracer and prestateTracer.
debug_traceTransaction	Supports callTracer and prestateTracer.

Shared request behavior

HTTP POST accepts individual calls and batches. WebSockets also carry ordinary requests alongside subscriptions. URLs follow the gateway and service-path convention established in the Quickstart.

For supported reads, Direct resolves latest to a shared block rather than letting each provider choose independently. See block consistency for the behavior and its boundaries.

For a failed call, see Troubleshooting requests.

Batches

A batch is sent to one provider, and each call is billed separately. See Pricing. Recovery depends on the methods it contains; see Routing requests and handling failures.

For standard batch semantics, see the JSON-RPC specification.
