call

Executes a new message call immediately without creating a transaction on the block chain.

To prevent API abuse, the gas parameter in eth_estimateGas and eth_call is capped at 10x (1000%) the current block gas limit. You can recreate this behavior in your local test environment (Ganache, Besu, Geth, or other client) via the rpc.gascap command-line option.
