sendTransaction
Last updated:
`sendTransaction` broadcasts an already-signed, fully-serialized transaction to the cluster for execution. The transaction must be signed by all required signers and contain a recent blockhash before you call this method — Triport does not sign on your behalf.
By default the node runs a **preflight** check (a simulation against the `preflightCommitment` bank) before forwarding the transaction. If preflight fails, the call returns an error and the transaction is never submitted. The method returns the transaction's first **signature** (base-58) as soon as it is accepted into the processing pipeline — this is *not* a confirmation. Use [`getSignatureStatuses`](./getSignatureStatuses.md) or [`getTransaction`](./getTransaction.md) to poll for confirmation.
This method is available on all tiers but is throttled separately under the `sol_send_tx` category, so send throughput is independent of your read-RPC budget. To validate a transaction without submitting it, use [`simulateTransaction`](./simulateTransaction.md) instead.
