Summary
Create a standalone Go tool (or example) that walks blocks and counts traces per transaction, reproducing the data from the old C++ `traceCounter` that generated `traceRes.txt` for the DDoS article.
Implementation
- Walk blocks via `GetBlockHeaderByNumber` → `LightBlock.Transactions` (list of tx hashes)
- Call `GetTracesCount` per transaction (binary search, ~2*log2(N) RPC calls each)
- Accumulate results into a grid (e.g., 251 block ranges × 100 trace count buckets)
- Output CSV or JSON suitable for chart generation
Context
- `GetTracesCount` is implemented in `chifra/pkg/rpc/get_trace_count.go`
- The old C++ tool scanned the DDoS era (blocks ~2.2M–2.7M) and produced histogram data
- Could live in `examples/` as a new example project
