pimlico_simulateAssetChanges

Simulates a user operation to predict the asset changes it will cause. Shows all balance changes and shows all balance changes including native currency, ERC-20, ERC-1155, and ERC-721 tokens. This method uses 80 credits from your daily balance.

Parameters

• userOperation: (object) - The user operation object with the same format as eth_estimateUserOperationGas:

  • sender: (string) - The address of the account making the operation.
  • nonce: (string) - The account nonce.
  • callData: (string) - The data to pass to the sender during the main execution call.
  • callGasLimit: (string) [optional] - The amount of gas to allocate the main execution call.
  • verificationGasLimit: (string) [optional] - The amount of gas to allocate for the verification step.
  • preVerificationGas: (string) [optional] - The amount of gas to pay for to compensate the bundler.
  • maxFeePerGas: (string) [optional] - Maximum fee per gas, in wei, the sender is willing to pay per gas.
  • maxPriorityFeePerGas: (string) [optional] - Maximum priority fee per gas above the base fee.
  • paymasterVerificationGasLimit: (string) [optional] - Gas for paymaster verification step.
  • paymasterPostOpGasLimit: (string) [optional] - Gas for paymaster post-operation step.
  • signature: (string) - Must be a valid dummy signature for simulation.

• entryPoint: (string) - The entry point contract address.

• blockNumber: (string) [optional] - Hex encoded block number to run the simulation at (defaults to latest).

Returns

An object containing asset changes that would occur from executing the user operation:

assetChanges: (array) - Array of asset change objects, each containing:

• token: (object) - Token information (varies by token type). Token metadata fields (name and symbol) are included when available but may be undefined as they are optional in token standards.
• value: (object) - Balance change information:
  • diff: (string) - The balance difference.
  • pre: (string) - Balance before the operation.
  • post: (string) - Balance after the operation.
