Crypto Simulate Tx
by ISHOB in Onchain & crypto
Simulate a transaction before signing it: what leaves and enters the wallet (native, ERC-20, NFTs, SPL) with USD values, approvals granted (unlimited / to non-contracts), revert reason, gas and fee, plus a risk level. EVM chains via eth_simulateV1 (raw call: from, to, data, value); Solana via simulateTransaction (base64 transaction, unsigned is fine). Nothing is broadcast.
