# eth\_sendRawTransaction - ARC

This method broadcasts a signed transaction to the Arc network for execution. It is the primary method for submitting any state-changing operation — USDC transfers, smart contract calls, contract deployments, and FX engine swaps. Gas is paid in USDC.

## Parameters

| ------------ | ------ | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| signedTxData | string | Yes      | The signed transaction data (hex), produced offline by a signer such as ethers.js, viem, or web3.py |

## SDK Integration

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Ethers.js" %}

```javascript
import { ethers } from 'ethers';

const provider = new ethers.JsonRpcProvider('https://go.getblock.io/<ACCESS-TOKEN>/');
const wallet = new ethers.Wallet(privateKey, provider);

// Send 10 USDC. Note the 6-decimal parseUnits call — NOT parseEther.
const tx = await wallet.sendTransaction({
    to: '0xd85498dbeaeb1df24be52eed4f52eac2fbd56245',
    value: ethers.parseUnits('10', 6)
});
console.log('Tx Hash:', tx.hash);
await tx.wait();
console.log('Confirmed!');
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Viem" %}

```javascript
import { createWalletClient, http, defineChain, parseUnits } from 'viem';
import { privateKeyToAccount } from 'viem/accounts';

const arcTestnet = defineChain({
    id: 5042002,
    name: 'Arc Testnet',
    nativeCurrency: { name: 'USD Coin', symbol: 'USDC', decimals: 6 },
    rpcUrls: { default: { http: ['https://go.getblock.io/<ACCESS-TOKEN>/'] } }
});

const account = privateKeyToAccount('0x...');

const client = createWalletClient({
    account,
    chain: arcTestnet,
    transport: http('https://go.getblock.io/<ACCESS-TOKEN>/')
});

// Send 10 USDC. parseUnits with 6 decimals — NOT parseEther.
const hash = await client.sendTransaction({
    to: '0xd85498dbeaeb1df24be52eed4f52eac2fbd56245',
    value: parseUnits('10', 6)
});
