How to use it

// yarn add @tatumio/tatum

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

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

const result = await tatum.rpc.decodeRawTransaction(
  '02000000013412cdab3412cdab3412cdab3412cdab3412cdab3412cdab3412cdab3412cdab0000000000fdffffff0140420f00000000001976a91462e907b15cbf27d5425399ebf6f0fb50ebb88f1888ac00000000',
)

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

Overview

The decoderawtransaction RPC method decodes a serialized (hex-encoded) raw transaction and displays its information in a human-readable format. This method is useful for inspecting raw transactions before broadcasting them to the network or for debugging purposes.

Parameters

  • hex_string: (string, required) The serialized raw transaction in hex format.

Return Object

An object containing the decoded raw transaction information:

  • txid: (string) The transaction ID.
  • hash: (string) The transaction hash.
  • version: (numeric) The transaction version.
  • size: (numeric) The transaction size in bytes.
  • vsize: (numeric) The virtual transaction size in bytes.
  • weight: (numeric) The transaction weight.
  • locktime: (numeric) The lock time for the transaction.
  • vin: (array) An array of objects, each representing an input of the transaction.
    • txid: (string) The transaction ID of the previous transaction output to spend.
    • vout: (numeric) The index of the output to spend from the previous transaction.
    • scriptSig: (object) The script used to redeem the previous transaction output.
      • asm: (string) The assembly representation of the script.
      • hex: (string) The hex-encoded script.
    • sequence: (numeric) The sequence number.
  • vout: (array) An array of objects, each representing an output of the transaction.
    • value: (numeric) The amount sent to the output.
    • n: (numeric) The index of the output.
    • scriptPubKey: (object) The script used to lock the output.
      • asm: (string) The assembly representation of the script.
      • hex: (string) The hex-encoded script.
      • reqSigs: (numeric) The required number of signatures.
      • type: (string) The type of the script (e.g., 'pubkeyhash').
      • addresses: (array) An array of addresses associated with the output.
