Gnosis Chain 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 Gnosis Chain 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

The following examples demonstrate how to use Web3 libraries to make an ETH transfer on the Sepolia testnet.

Additional libraries requirement

Note that web3.js requires installing two extra libraries:

const Web3 = require("web3");
const Tx = require('ethereumjs-tx').Transaction;
const Common = require('ethereumjs-common').default;

const NODE_URL = "CHAINSTACK_NODE_URL";
const web3 = new Web3(NODE_URL);

async function sendEth(value) {

    // Define the sender and receiver addresses, and the private key
    const sender = '0x19e7e376e7c213b7e7e7e46cc70a5dd086daff2a';
    const receiver = '0xe9ba4b4d84d7a3c80245514213b88d50ed937114';
    const privateKey = Buffer.from('1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111', 'hex');

    // Define the gas limit
    const gasLimit = await web3.eth.estimateGas({
        from: sender,
        to: receiver,
    });

    // Get the transaction count for the sender address
    const nonce = await web3.eth.getTransactionCount(sender);

    // Define the transaction object
    const transactionObject = {
        to: receiver,
        gasPrice: web3.utils.toHex(web3.utils.toWei('50', 'gwei')),
        gasLimit: web3.utils.toHex(gasLimit),
        nonce: web3.utils.toHex(nonce),
        value: web3.utils.toHex(web3.utils.toWei(value, 'ether')),
    };

    // Define the chain configuration
    const common = Common.forCustomChain(
      'mainnet', {
          name: 'sepolia',
          networkId: 11155111,
          chainId: 11155111,
      },
      'petersburg',
  );

    // Create a new transaction object to sign 
    const tx = new Tx(transactionObject, {
        common
    });

    // Sign the transaction using the private key  
    const signedTx = tx.sign(privateKey);

    // Serialize the signed transaction and send it to the blockchain 
    const serializedTx = tx.serialize();
    const rawTransaction = '0x' + serializedTx.toString('hex');
    console.log(`Raw transaction: ${rawTransaction}\n`)

    try {
        console.log(`Sending transaction...`)
        const result = await web3.eth.sendSignedTransaction(rawTransaction);
        console.log(`Transaction hash: ${result.transactionHash}`);

    } catch (error) {
        console.error(error);
    }
}

sendEth("2");

Note that you will need to edit the sender, receiver, and privateKey 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.
