debug_traceBlock RPC Method

Parameters:

    callTracer - The calltracer keeps track of all call frames, including depth 0 calls, that are made during a transaction
    prestateTracer - The prestateTracer replays the transaction and tracks every part of state that occured during the transaction

    tracerConfig - object - The object to specify the configurations of the tracer
