The ots_getInternalOperations JSON-RPC method retrieves all internal ETH transfers and operations that occurred within a transaction on the Hyperliquid EVM blockchain. This Otterscan-specific method reveals value transfers that happen inside smart contract execution, which are not visible in standard transaction receipts.

​
Parameters

  1. transaction hash (string, required): The hash of the transaction to analyze

​
Response

The method returns an array of internal operation objects representing all value transfers within the transaction.

​
Response structure

Each internal operation contains:
  • type — the operation type (0: transfer, 1: self-destruct, 2: create, 3: create2)
  • from — the address sending the value
  • to — the address receiving the value
  • value — the amount of ETH transferred in wei (hex)

​

      "value": "0x6f05b59d3b20000"
    }
  ]
}

​
Operation types

The type field indicates the operation:
  • 0 — Regular ETH transfer
  • 1 — Self-destruct (contract deletion with balance transfer)
  • 2 — Contract creation via CREATE opcode
  • 3 — Contract creation via CREATE2 opcode

​
Use cases

The ots_getInternalOperations method is essential for:
  • Value flow analysis: Track how ETH moves through complex contract interactions
  • DeFi debugging: Understand token swaps and liquidity operations
  • Security auditing: Detect unexpected value transfers in contracts
  • Payment splitting: Analyze how contracts distribute payments
  • Fee tracking: Monitor protocol fees and revenue sharing
  • MEV analysis: Study arbitrage and sandwich attack patterns
  • Wallet tracking: Follow funds through mixer and privacy protocols
  • Tax reporting: Identify all value transfers for accounting
  • Contract verification: Ensure contracts handle ETH as expected
  • Forensic analysis: Investigate exploits and fund movements
This method is particularly valuable for understanding complex DeFi transactions where multiple contracts interact and transfer value in ways not visible through standard transaction data.
