Revert State on TestNets
Reverting state can be helpful when testing contracts and protocols and you want to discard all state changes up to the snapshot position.
Instead of reverting state, consider forking an existing testnet instead, and do your testing on a disposable working copy.
Reverting to a snapshot
Create snapshot
Use evm_snapshot to create a snapshot on the current block.
The method returns the snapshot ID you can use to revert.
snapshot.sh
TENDERLY_VIRTUAL_TESTNET_RPC= #...
SNAPSHOT_ID=$(curl $TENDERLY_VIRTUAL_TESTNET_RPC \
-X POST \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"method": "evm_snapshot",
"id": "1234"
}' \
| jq -r '.result')Revert
Use evm_revert to back revert to previously created snapshot (SNAPSHOT_ID).
From this point onwards, all prior changes up to the snapshot will be discarded.
revert.sh
read -r -d '' REVERT_REQUEST <<EOF
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"method": "evm_revert",
"params": ["$SNAPSHOT_ID"],
"id": "1234"
}
EOF
curl $TENDERLY_VIRTUAL_TESTNET_RPC \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d $REVERT_REQUEST
