eth_sendRawTransaction

Submits a pre-signed transaction for broadcast to the Ethereum network.

MEV protection for users on the free tier

Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) protection is applied for this method on Mainnet only. The method is automatically routed to a virtual mempool before the transaction is included in a public block.

This functionality offers protection from MEV strategies such as front running and sandwich attacks.

Parameters​

transaction data: [Required] The signed transaction data.

Returns​

transaction hash: 32 bytes. The transaction hash, or the zero hash if the transaction is not yet available. Use eth_getTransactionReceipt to get the contract address, after the transaction was mined, when you created a contract.

Example​

Replace <YOUR-API-KEY> with an API key from your MetaMask Developer dashboard.
