Prechain insights from the mempool enable Web3 developers to predict smart contract interactions and preview balance changes prior to authorizing on-chain events
Blocknative, the real-time Web3 infrastructure company, launches its Transaction Preview API, providing real-time insights for Ethereum Mainnet. The launch of Blocknative Transaction Preview enables users to preview the outcome of potential transactions based upon the current state of the blockchain. This new capability enables Web3 developers, wallets, protocols, and traders to see the expected net-balance changes and smart contract calls of a transaction before transacting, and at a speed 10x faster than other solutions.

We are excited to deliver this critical infrastructure and continue to deliver on Blocknative’s mission of accelerating and simplifying the Web3 ecosystem.
“Transaction Preview enables Web3 developers and traders to gain real-time visibility into expected slippage, net-balance changes, and smart contract calls – all before ever signing-and-submitting a transaction. As anyone developing or trading in Web3 knows, this ability to see into the future is paramount for sound decision-making, risk management, and competitiveness. We are excited to deliver this critical infrastructure and continue to deliver on Blocknative’s mission of accelerating and simplifying the Web3 ecosystem.”
Transaction preview extends the Simulation Platform beyond signed transactions inflight to unsigned transactions prior to broadcasting them for inclusion on-chain. Simulation Platform serves as the backbone for Blocknative’s Transaction Preview API, which enables users to submit a custom transaction to simulate against the current block height.
With Transaction Preview, users can submit an unsigned transaction that will simulate it against the current block to detail the expected results of said transaction. By simply sending a raw transaction to Blocknative’s Transaction Preview API, a detailed payload showing decoded contract calls, net balance changes, and performance metrics will be returned to the user. Additionally, the Transaction Preview API empowers end-users to modify inputs such as from address, gas limit, gas prices per transaction type, and transaction input, to understand how these factors impact their expected balance changes.
Chris Meisl, CTO & Co-Founder of Blocknative, shared:
“Our composable API will enable better experiences for Web3 users — such as previewing and timing NFT Mints and seeing whether it goes through or fails without having to pay additional gas fees. Transaction Preview API also helps developers simulate complex transactions quickly and see their detailed internal calls and balance changes for debugging and performance purposes. For traders, this API will help enable new profit opportunities because they can simulate variations of a potential trade using different inputs (gas limit, gas price, and transaction input) to determine the most profitable one.”
Blocknative’s Transaction Preview is now available for Web3 developers, wallets, protocols, and traders.
