eth_sendRawTransaction - zkSync RPC Method

Submit signed transactions to zkSync Era. Essential for broadcasting transactions for RWA tokenization ($1.9B, 25% market share), hyperchain deployment via ZK Stack, and cross-chain DeFi.

Submits a pre-signed transaction for broadcast to zkSync Era.

Why zkSync? Build on Matter Labs' flagship zkEVM powering the Elastic Network of interoperable hyperchains with ZK Stack modular framework, hyperchain interoperability, native account abstraction, and $1.9B in tokenized real-world assets.

Use Cases

The eth_sendRawTransaction method is essential for:

  • Broadcasting transactions - Submit signed transactions to the network
  • Wallet operations - Send native tokens and interact with contracts
  • DeFi operations - Execute swaps, provide liquidity for RWA tokenization ($1.9B, 25% market share), hyperchain deployment via ZK Stack, and cross-chain DeFi
  • Batch operations - Submit multiple transactions efficiently

Request Parameters
