What does "Depth" column mean in VM Trace Transaction ?
How it is for opcodes?
for example here: https://rinkeby.etherscan.io/vmtrace?txhash=0xbb7323b02276aeed76b22fa50e2eefb76d5647560b8c15f23541ec5990d0e855

it is the stack, every call a new stack frame is created and put on the stack, works pretty much like any PC, grab a manual of assembly language and it is going to explain you everything. The only difference is that instructions are different– NulikMar 3, 2018 at 19:58

It's the call depth. All opcodes inside the original transaction have depth of 1. If there is a message call to another contract, the depth is incremented by 1 for opcodes inside this message call. Recursively, if there is a message call inside that message call, the depth is 3 etc.
