Arbitrum API method that provides a native tracer called stylusTracer
for debugging Stylus contracts. This method returns detailed execution traces of transactions involving Stylus contracts by capturing metadata for each HostIO (calls the WasmVM makes to read and write data in the EVM). Combined with the contract’s source code, this gives developers complete visibility into transaction execution for debugging purposes.

hash
— the hash identifying a transaction.object
— (optional) an object identifying the type of tracer and its configuration:
stylusTracer
— tracer that captures metadata for each HostIO executed during a Stylus transaction.stylusTracer
responseobject
— the stylusTracer
traces object containing an array of HostIO metadata:
name
— name of the executed HostIO.args
— arguments of the HostIO encoded as hex.outs
— outputs of the HostIO encoded as hex.startInk
— amount of Ink before executing the HostIO.endInk
— amount of Ink after executing the HostIO.address
— for *call HostIOs, the address of the called contract.steps
— for *call HostIOs, the steps performed by the called contract.A key use case for the debug_traceTransaction
method with stylusTracer
is debugging failed Stylus contract transactions. The tracer provides detailed information about each HostIO executed during the transaction, allowing developers to:
This data can be used with the contract source code to understand transaction behavior and diagnose issues.
