send_transaction

Overview

The send_transaction method is designed to submit a transaction to the EOS blockchain. This method expects a transaction in JSON format and will attempt to apply it to the blockchain, enabling various blockchain interactions such as transferring tokens, invoking smart contracts, etc.

// yarn add @tatumio/tatum

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

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

const response = await tatum.rpc.sendTransaction({
  signatures: [
    /* array of signatures */
  ],
  compression: false,
  packedContextFreeData: 'string', // json to hex
  packedTrx: 'string', // Transaction object json to hex
})

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

Example use cases:

1. Transaction Submission:
   Developers and users can utilize the send_transaction method to broadcast their transactions to the EOS network, enabling various blockchain interactions and operations.

2. Smart Contract Interaction:
   This method is crucial for invoking actions on smart contracts deployed on the EOS blockchain, allowing users to interact with decentralized applications.

3. Token Transfer:
   send_transaction is used for transferring EOS tokens or other tokens deployed on the EOS blockchain between accounts.

Request Parameters

The sendTransaction method requires the following parameters in the request body:

• signatures (array of strings, required): Array of signatures required to authorize the transaction.
• compression (boolean): Compression used, usually false.
• packedContextFreeData (string): JSON converted to hex.
• packedTrx (string): Transaction object converted from JSON to hex.

Return Object

The send_transaction method typically does not return any object but acknowledges with a 200 OK status upon a successful transaction broadcast.

JSON-RPC Request Example

{
  "signatures": ["SIG_K1_..."],
  "compression": false,
  "packed_context_free_data": "0x...",
  "packed_trx": "0x..."
}

JSON-RPC Response Example

200 OK status implies successful broadcast, and typically no object is returned.
