Data

over the past few weeks I’ve added 11 new trace datasets to cryo, bringing the total to 17

this required a ton of research, so I gathered all the info I found into the

🌌🪐Ultimate EVM Tracing Reference🪐🌌

a quick overview...

it’s on github and it’s just a single page README

https://github.com/paradigmxyz/ultimate_evm_tracing_reference

here are the 3 sections that that are most interesting:

data @ paradigm

1. at the bottom of the page there are data samples and a data schema for each tracer

you can download these data samples for free without signing up for anything

this makes it easy to familiarize yourself with the many different tracing types

2. tracing support is highly variable across ecosystem tools

this is not surprising, as tracing documentation is scattered and often underspecified

cryo now supports every type of tracer, but it was a massive PITA to implement

3. none of the hosted data platforms like Dune/Flipside/Allium support advanced tracers

instead they just support call traces

adding things like balance diffs and slot diffs would be a huge unlock

I really wish I had this guide when I was first learning about traces

if you have ideas for improvements, or notice any errors, share them here or on the issue tracker
