@ton/retracer-core

retracer-core

retracer-core is a core library for deep analysis, emulation, and tracing transactions on the TON blockchain. The library allows you to reproduce transaction execution in a local sandbox, obtain detailed reports on computation, actions, and money flow, and collect low-level information about blocks, accounts, and messages.

Features

• Detailed transaction tracing: Emulate transaction execution in an environment identical to TON blockchain's mainnet.
• Block and account data collection: Obtain account state snapshots, block configuration, and transaction history.
• Work with libraries and contracts: Automatic loading and handling of exotic library cells.
• Analysis of incoming/outgoing messages, balance calculations, and VM log collection.
• Supports both mainnet and testnet.

Installation

yarn add @ton/retracer-core
# or
npm install @ton/retracer-core

Quick Start

import {retrace} from "@ton/retracer-core"

// Example: trace a transaction by its hash
const result = await retrace(false, "YOUR_TX_HASH")
console.log(result)

Main API

Transaction Tracing

import {retrace} from "@ton/retracer-core"

/**
 * @param testnet - true for testnet, false for mainnet
 * @param txHash - hex transaction hash
 * @returns Detailed execution report (TraceResult)
 */
const result1 = await retrace(testnet, txHash)

/**
 * Retrace a transaction described as triple
 */
const result2 = await retraceBaseTx(testnet, {
    lt: 56166043000001n,
    hash: Buffer.from("T6Y6ZoW71mrznFA0RyU/xV5ILpz9WUPJ9i9/4xPq1Is=", "base64"),
    address: Address.parse("EQCqKZrrce8Ss6SZaLI-OkH2w8-xtPP9_ZvyyIZLhy9Hmpf8"),
})

Helper Methods

All methods are exported from retracer-core and can be used independently:

• findBaseTxByHash(testnet, txHash) — Find base transaction info by hash.
• findRawTxByHash(testnet, baseTxInfo) — Get full transaction details.
• findShardBlockForTx(testnet, rawTx) — Find the shard block containing the transaction.
• findFullBlockForSeqno(testnet, seqno) — Get master-block by seqno.
• findAllTransactionsBetween(testnet, baseTx, minLt) — Get all account transactions in a given range.
• getBlockConfig(testnet, blockInfo) — Get global config for a block.
• getBlockAccount(testnet, address, blockInfo) — Get account snapshot before a block.
• collectUsedLibraries(testnet, account, tx) — Collect used library cells.
• prepareEmulator(blockConfig, libs, randSeed) — Prepare the emulator for transaction execution.
• emulatePreviousTransactions(...) — Emulate a chain of previous transactions to restore the state.
• computeFinalData(...) — Gather final data from emulation result.
• findFinalActions(logs) — Extract final actions from VM logs.
• shardAccountToBase64(shardAccount) — Serialize an account to base64 for the emulator.

Types

All main types (transactions, blocks, messages, tracing results) are exported from retracer-core and are fully typed (see src/types.ts).
