trace_call method for Fantom Opera

Question

trace_call is a quite useful method for simulating transactions on blockchain: https://www.quicknode.com/docs/ethereum/trace_call

But for some reason, all node providers support it only on Ethereum Mainnet and Polygon, rarely on Arbitrum and BSC. I wonder if there is a way to achieve the same for Fantom Opera and other EVM-compatible chains? And if it's impossible, maybe there are other ways for transaction simulations?

Answer 1

• With public blockchain technologies, you do not have vendor lock in and you can always achieve your goal regardless of what private companies tell you
• You can always run your own your own node with necessary tracing APIs enabled
• Running a node might need a beefy server costing hundreds of dollars per month to run
• If third party service providers do not support Fantom it is usually a sign there is no demand for this service
