Evm Tx Inspect
by Preflight in Onchain & crypto
Call before signing an Ethereum or Base transaction or calldata. Decodes raw transaction bytes or contract calldata against standard interfaces (ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155, WETH, EIP-2612 Permit and Permit2) in memory. Returns the decoded method signature, typed parameters, value in wei and standard specification links. Mechanical byte decoding only: never simulates state or advises whether to sign.
