eth_sendRawTransaction

Overview

Theeth_sendRawTransaction RPC method is used to facilitate the transmission of a signed and serialized Ethereum transaction onto the network. This approach proves invaluable when seeking complete oversight of the signing procedure, especially when employing hardware wallets, cold storage solutions, or custom signing libraries. Its versatility shines through in multiple scenarios, including Ether transfers, smart contract interactions, and contract deployments.

Parameters

Transaction data: This is a required parameter. It is a hex string that represents the signed transaction data. This data must be prepared and signed offline or through a wallet before being sent to the network.

Returns

The response from the eth_sendRawTransaction method is a JSON object containing the following fields:

Name	Description
jsonrpc	A string indicating the version of the JSON-RPC protocol. It should be "2.0".
id	A number that identifies the request. This should match the id value in the request.
result	The transaction hash of the sent transaction. If the transaction is not yet available, this will be the zero hash.

Request Example

curl --location 'https://api.tatum.io/v3/blockchain/node/ethereum-mainnet/' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'x-api-key: {API_KEY}' \
--data '{
  "id": 1,
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "eth_sendRawTransaction",
  "params": [
    "0xf86d8201...94a7bc"
  ]
}'

// yarn add @tatumio/tatum

import { TatumSDK, Ethereum, Network } from '@tatumio/tatum'

const tatum = await TatumSDK.init<Ethereum>({network: Network.ETHEREUM})

const gasPrice = await tatum.rpc.sendRawTransaction('0x0000.......')

await tatum.destroy() // Destroy Tatum SDK - needed for stopping background jobs
