Ethereum API method that allows submitting a signed transaction to the network. Once a transaction is signed, you can use the eth_sendRawTransaction method to submit the signed transaction to the Ethereum network for processing.
Note that the interactive example in this page will not work, due to the fact that eth_sendRawTransaction is used to modify the state of the blockchain, it is not possible to duplicate the same request.

​
Parameters

  • data — the signed transaction. The serialized transaction data, which includes the transaction metadata such as the nonce, gas price, gas limit, recipient address, and data payload, as well as the digital signature generated using the private key associated with the address that is sending the transaction. Typically, signed with a library such as web3.py, web3.js, or ethers.js using the sender’s private key.

​
Response

  • result — the unique hash identifying the transaction or the zero hash if the transaction is not available yet. The zero hash is a special value that represents an invalid or null hash.

eth_sendRawTransaction code examples

Learn more about the ChainstackProvider in ethers.js: ethers ChainstackProvider Documentation.
With ether.js, you can use the ChainstackProvider directly if you want to run this code on the Ethereum mainnet:
ethers.js
const ethers = require("ethers");

// Create a ChainstackProvider instance for Ethereum mainnet
const chainstack = new ethers.ChainstackProvider("mainnet");
The following examples demonstrate how to use Web3 libraries to make an ETH transfer on the Sepolia testnet. 
const ethers = require('ethers');
const NODE_URL = "CHAINSTACK_NODE_URL";
const provider = new ethers.JsonRpcProvider(NODE_URL);

async function sendEth(value) {

  // Define the sender and receiver addresses, and the private key
	const sender = '0x19e7e376e7c213b7e7e7e46cc70a5dd086daff2a';
  const receiver = '0xe9ba4b4d84d7a3c80245514213b88d50ed937114';
  const privateKey = '1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111';
  
  // Define the gas limit
  const gasLimit = await provider.estimateGas({
    from: sender,
    to: receiver,
    value: ethers.parseEther(value),
  });

  // Get the transaction count for the sender address
  const nonce = await provider.getTransactionCount(sender);

  // Define the transaction object
  const transactionObject = {
    to: receiver,
    gasPrice: ethers.parseUnits('50', 'gwei'),
    gasLimit: gasLimit.toString(),
    nonce: nonce,
    value: ethers.parseEther(value),
  };

  // Sign the transaction using the private key  
  const wallet = new ethers.Wallet(privateKey, provider);
  console.log(`Sending transaction...`)
  
  const transaction = await wallet.sendTransaction(transactionObject);
  console.log('Transaction hash:', transaction.hash);
}

sendEth("2");
Note that you will need to edit the amountToSend, recipientAddress, and secretKey fields to be able to use this code.

Use case

One potential use case for eth_sendRawTransaction is to automatically swap ETH for a token when its price reaches a certain level. eth_sendRawTransaction will allow specifying custom transaction parameters, such as gas price or gas limit, to optimize the speed and cost of the transaction. For instance, you could build a program monitoring the price of a specific token and execute a swapExactETHForTokens transaction when the token reaches a certain price level, it could use eth_sendRawTransaction to submit a raw transaction with a custom gas price and limit that are optimized for the current network conditions. The following code shows how to call the swapExactETHForTokens function from the SushiSwap exchange on Ethereum using ethers.js:
Note that this code only shows how to execute the swapExactETHForTokens function on SushiSwap on Ethereum mainnet, and not how to track the prices. You need to build a separate part for this.
This particular example shows how to swap ETH for AAVE tokens.

Security noticeYou need your private key to sign the transaction; never share your private key with anyone.On a side note, the private key in this case must be imported without ‘0x’ at the beginning of the string.
In the swapETHForToken function, a new wallet is created using the provided privateKey. Then, the instance of the SushiSwap Router contract is obtained using its address and the ABI (Application Binary Interface) for the swapExactETHForTokens function. This function swaps a specified amount of ETH for a token at the current market price. The tokenToBuy, amountOfETH, minAmountOfTokens, and deadline variables are used to prepare the swap parameters. The path variable defines the input and output token path for the swap. The nonce, gasPrice, and the transactionData variables define the parameters for the transaction object and encode the swapExactETHForTokens function call with the specified parameters. The gasLimit variable is calculated based on the parameters, and the chainId variable is obtained for replay-protected (EIP-155) transactions. Then, the transactionObject variable is built, including the to address, the value, the nonce, the gasPrice, the gasLimit, the data, and the chainId. Finally, the transaction is signed and sent, and the receipt is returned. If the status of the receipt is equal to 1, the swap was successful, and the receipt object is logged to the console. If the status is not equal to 1, the swap failed, and an error message is logged to the console.
