# debug\_traceTransaction

### Parameters

1. `Transaction Hash`.
2. `Tracer` - choose from one of these options:
   * `4byteTracer` - Solidity contract functions are [addressed](https://docs.soliditylang.org/en/develop/abi-spec.html#function-selector) using the first four byte of the Keccak-256 hash of their signature. This `tracer` monitors and analyzes the usage of specific function signatures within smart contracts by capturing their unique first four bytes.
   * `callTracer` - collects data about all call frames executed within a transaction, creating a hierarchical list of call frames structured mirroring the EVM's operations. This is useful for debugging and analytical purposes.
   * `prestateTracer` - captures and analyzes the state of the blockchain before the execution of a specific transaction. It helps in understanding the state changes and effects that a transaction will have on the blockchain's data and accounts before the transaction is actually executed.
   * `noopTracer` - returns empty results. This is used for testing purpose.
   * `opcountTracer` - count and track the number of operations (or opcodes) executed during a specific transaction.
   * `unigramTracer` - counts the frequency of occurrence of each opcode.
   * `bigramTracer` - a bigram refers to a sequence of two bytes or characters. This tracer is designed to observe and provide insights into the patterns and occurrences of these two-byte sequences as they appear within the data of executed transactions.
   * `trigramTracer` - a trigram refers to a sequence of three bytes or characters. This tracer is designed to observe and provide insights into the patterns and occurrences of these three-byte sequences as they appear within the data of executed transactions.
   * `evmdisTracer` - generates the bytecode disassembly of executed transactions, providing developers with insights into how smart contracts operate at a low-level bytecode level for debugging, security audits, and performance optimization purposes.
