Description

Summary

Non-standard RPC methods such as debug_ and trace_ namespaces are not currently supported.

Problem

These endpoints are useful for debugging, tracing, and advanced node interactions but vary significantly between clients (Geth, Reth, Erigon, Nethermind, etc.).

Proposed Solution

  • Research which non-standard namespaces exist across major clients
  • Document client-specific differences
  • Decide on a strategy: support common subset, or client-specific feature flags
  • Implement chosen endpoints with appropriate documentation noting client compatibility
  • Add tests (may require client-specific test environments)

Open Questions

  • Which clients do we prioritize?
  • How do we handle methods that exist on some clients but not others?
  • Should these be behind feature flags to avoid bloating the core crate?

Research direction

Start by researching the debug_ and trace_ namespaces across Geth, Reth, Erigon, and Nethermind, then document the client-specific differences and evaluate the proposed support strategies. Done means a chosen approach is implemented, client compatibility is documented, and appropriate tests cover the supported endpoints.
