# send\_raw\_transaction - Monero

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

This non-JSON-RPC endpoint broadcasts a serialized signed transaction to the network. It is the primary submission point for transactions constructed and signed offline by a wallet.

## Parameters

| Parameter      | Type    | Required | Description                                                                            |
| -------------- | ------- | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| tx\_as\_hex    | string  | Yes      | Hex-encoded signed transaction blob                                                    |
| do\_not\_relay | boolean | No       | If `true`, the node will accept the tx but not propagate it (rare; useful for testing) |
