Simplify Smart Contract Debugging with the Bytecode to Opcode Tool
Introduction
Smart contract developers and blockchain enthusiasts often need to decode the complexities of Ethereum’s Virtual Machine (EVM) to understand the behavior of deployed contracts. One essential tool for this is a Bytecode to Opcode Converter, which translates low-level compiled smart contract bytecode into more human-readable opcodes. This article will guide you on how to use the tool effectively.
What is Bytecode?
Bytecode is the compiled form of a smart contract. Once a smart contract is written in a high-level programming language like Solidity, it is compiled into bytecode — a series of hexadecimal characters. Bytecode is executed by the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) or other compatible virtual machines like XDC’s.
What are Opcodes?
Opcodes are the low-level instructions executed by the EVM, derived from the compiled bytecode. These represent fundamental operations like arithmetic, data storage, and contract interaction. Opcodes provide deeper insights into how smart contracts execute on the blockchain.
Steps to Use the Bytecode to Opcode Tool
Step 1: Navigate to the Bytecode to Opcode Tool.
Step 2: Enter the compiled bytecode of your smart contract in the text area provided.
This is the hexadecimal representation of your contract code.

Step 3: Submit the bytecode by clicking the “Submit” button.
Note: Review the results. The tool will decode the bytecode and display the corresponding opcodes, giving you a detailed breakdown of the low-level instructions.
This functionality is ideal for debugging smart contracts and analysing their behaviour before deployment.
Broadcasting Transactions | Submitting Signed Transactions with PushTx
Developers often need to broadcast signed transactions directly to the blockchain. XDCScan provides an easy-to-use PushTx feature for this purpose.
Step 1: Navigate to the PushTx Page.
Step 2: Enter the signed raw transaction hash in the text area provided.
- Ensure the hash is correctly formatted and signed using a compatible tool or library.
- Example of RAW transaction: 0xf86d3d850df847580082520894f3ca2132ca536f41606004b9d380f609af273ee2880853a0d2313c000080818aa0c78bcc0e972260d87f3d58baf3f6d71365e303b93d607259aa914e5d88bdb04ba065d70d71922acad744836ccc090b51e8f62abeab863c4ac9d4131f1c94dbad2d
Step 3: Click the “Broadcast Transaction” button.
Step 4: Once submitted, the transaction will be broadcasted to the blockchain, and the transaction hash will appear below as confirmation.
💡 Note: This feature currently supports the Apothem Network for testing and development purposes.
