# eth\_sendRawTransaction - AVAX

Broadcasts a signed transaction to the C-Chain. The primary method for submitting any state-changing operation — AVAX transfers, ERC-20 transfers, smart contract calls, and contract deployments.

## Parameters

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