Ethereum API method that submits a signed transaction and blocks until the transaction receipt is returned or the timeout expires. This is a synchronous version of eth_sendRawTransaction — instead of returning just the transaction hash, it waits for the transaction to be included in a block and returns the full receipt. This method is defined by EIP-7966 and is available on Erigon (>= v3.4.0) and go-ethereum (>= v1.16.6).

Because Ethereum mainnet has a ~12-second block time, sync calls often exceed short timeouts. Pick a timeout that fits your application — the request returns once a receipt is available or once the timeout expires, whichever comes first.

​
Parameters

  • signedTransactionData — the signed transaction data in hexadecimal format. Includes nonce, gas price, gas limit, recipient address, value, data, and signature.
  • timeout (optional) — maximum wait time in milliseconds, passed as a decimal integer per EIP-7966 (e.g., 5000). If omitted, the node uses its configured default. Note that other Chainstack chains may use different timeout encodings — see the Polygon equivalent, where Bor expects a hex-encoded timeout.

​
Response

  • result — the full transaction receipt object once the transaction is included in a block, with the same fields as eth_getTransactionReceipt. If the timeout expires before inclusion, the node returns an error indicating the transaction was added to the pool but not yet processed.

eth_sendRawTransactionSync code examples

const ethers = require('ethers');
const NODE_URL = "CHAINSTACK_NODE_URL";
const provider = new ethers.JsonRpcProvider(NODE_URL);

const sendTransactionSync = async () => {
  const wallet = new ethers.Wallet("YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY", provider);

  const tx = {
    to: "0xRecipientAddress",
    value: ethers.parseEther("0"),
    chainId: 1,
  };

  // Sign the transaction
  const signedTx = await wallet.signTransaction(tx);

  // Send synchronously — blocks until receipt is returned or timeout expires
  const receipt = await provider.send(
    "eth_sendRawTransactionSync",
    [signedTx, 5000]
  );
  console.log(`Confirmed in block: ${receipt.blockNumber}`);
  console.log(`Status: ${receipt.status}`);
};

sendTransactionSync();

​
When to use

Use eth_sendRawTransactionSync instead of eth_sendRawTransaction when:
  • You need the receipt immediately and want to avoid polling with eth_getTransactionReceipt.
  • You are building synchronous request/response flows (payments, bots, simulations).
  • You want to simplify transaction submission logic by getting the result in a single call.
For fire-and-forget scenarios or when submitting many transactions in parallel, use eth_sendRawTransaction.
