I'm using ethers.js library, I have decoded TX, where I see logs, events, etc.

But is there any way how to check that this transaction contains incoming ETH?

When sending ETH, there is .value attribute, but I didn't find a way how to detect that some contract call caused ETH send.

I can detect token send via transfer event, or I can detect withdraw for WETH->ETH conversion, but I would need some universal way how to get amount of incoming ETH.

Is it possible in any way?

Thanks

  • if you don't want to enable traces (because it is going to be dead slow) , you can just dump the value to the log at this line : github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/blob/… add something like: log.Info("value_is","value",value.String(),"contract_addr",addr.String()) (just at the beginning of the function). You will also have to import "github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/log" package. Then go build and run this custom geth node. Parse the log to extract all the data

  • same for StaticCall() , DelegateCall() and all the call variations

  • but this only will tell you that some contract at some depth receives eth, not that it is "incoming". To check increase in balances you must trace the state changes

  • Unfortunately it's not my contract. I need to call some contracts from the automation script so the only way is probably the slow traces or depends on side-effect events (for example monitor withdraw from WETH if possible, etc).

You need some RPC node provider, which supports traces, to get so-called "internal transactions". For example - debug_traceTransaction You'll get the internal call tree, and you look there for a CALL to the desired address with value > 0

  • Thanks, I found also this solution but as mentioned above, it's a deadly slow. Obviously it would be much faster to write solution based on events if possible.

I think there's nothing built-in. You should write a custom function for that in your smart contract.

  • Unfortunately I need it for contract call from the script, not contract. In case of contract it would be much easier in this case.
