Simulate Transaction
by Transaction Preflight in Onchain & crypto
Simulates an unsigned Base or Base Sepolia EVM transaction with read-only RPC calls before an agent signs or broadcasts it. Returns execution/revert status, gas estimate, decoded top-level ERC-20 transfers and approvals, unlimited-approval warnings, and a risk signal. It never signs, holds keys, or broadcasts. Standard RPC does not expose complete internal/token state diffs.
