# relay\_tx - Monero

Example code for the relay\_tx JSON-RPC method. Complete guide on how to use relay\_tx JSON-RPC in GetBlock Web3 documentation.

This method instructs the node to relay one or more transactions (identified by hash) to its peers. The transactions must already be in the node's mempool.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type            | Required | Description                               |
| --------- | --------------- | -------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| txids     | array of string | Yes      | List of transaction hashes (hex) to relay |

// Most methods are exposed directly on the daemon client. For raw access:

# For methods covered by the typed API, use the daemon attribute directly.
