Simulates a transaction without committing it to the chain. The output includes transaction events and execution results, but omits state hashes. Useful for estimating gas usage and transaction validity. You must provide a SignedTransaction with a zero-padded signature. Optional flags allow estimating gas price, max gas amount, or using a prioritized gas price.

⚠ This endpoint is only available with Blast access.

Query parameters

estimate_gas_unit_pricebooleanOptional

If true, replaces the transaction's gas unit price with the estimated value.

estimate_max_gas_amountbooleanOptional

If true, overrides the max gas with the estimated maximum.

estimate_prioritized_gas_unit_pricebooleanOptional

If true, uses a higher gas price than the standard estimate to prioritize the transaction.
