Broadcast

A broadcast is sending a transaction to the blockchain network so nodes can receive and include it in the chain. In these docs “broadcast” refers to submitting a (signed) transaction to the blockchain (the node/rpc) so it’s propagated and eventually confirmed. Examples and API calls that “sign an unsigned transaction and broadcast it to chain” are available in the examples pages. Use broadcast when you want the wallet to sign (using its underlying key) and publish a prepared transaction or PSBT to the blockchain. The endpoint accepts either a signed/partially-signed PSBT (Bitcoin/Litecoin) or an unsigned transaction payload for many chains; the wallet service will sign (when applicable) and broadcast it to the network. Check out the examples for exact request formats and chain-specific transaction examples.

Speed up and cancel

If a broadcasted transaction is stuck in the mempool (status Broadcasted), you can speed it up or cancel it:

Speed Up Transaction: Rebroadcasts the transaction with higher fees (EVM only)
Cancel Transaction: Replaces the transaction with a zero-value self-transfer (EVM only)

Success is not guaranteed. If the original transaction confirms before the replacement is mined, the speed-up or cancel will fail.

What endpoint should I use for my transactions?

Transfer: call the Transfer Asset endpoint for native tokens, ERC-20/721, SPL, Cardano assets, etc. It creates a wallet transfer request, requires user action signing, supports fee sponsorship, idempotency via externalId, policy approvals, status tracking, and indexing (txHash, dateConfirmed). See Transfer.
Broadcast (Sign & Broadcast): use the Broadcast Transaction endpoint when you’ve built a raw/serialized transaction (or need to call arbitrary smart contract functions, mint, deploy contracts). This endpoint signs the transaction with the wallet key and broadcasts it; it also returns request status and txHash. See Broadcast.
Sign (Generate Signature): use Generate Signature only when you need an off-chain signature (no broadcast). Note this wallet endpoint is deprecated in favor of the Keys API; it does not submit anything to the chain.

Transaction · object

Signs an unsigned transaction and broadcasts it to chain. For EVM transactions, you may use JSON objects:

Field	Description	Type - Optional
type	Ethereum transaction type. 0 for legacy transaction; 2 for EIP-1559 transaction; 4 for EIP-7702 transaction. Default is 2 if undefined.	Integer (optional)
to	The destination address or target contract. Leave undefined when the transaction is a contract deployment.	String (optional)
value	The amount of native tokens to transfer in minimum denomination.	String (optional)
data	ABI encoded function call data in hex format. Can also be the encoded smart contract data when the transaction is a contract deployment.	String (optional)
nonce	The transaction number to guarantee idempotency. If omitted, it will be provided automatically. Note the same nonce can be submitted multiple times with a higher maxFeePerGas to "overwrite" existing transactions in the mempool.	Integer or String (optional)
gasLimit	The maximum amount of gas that can be spent for executing the transaction. If omitted, it will be calculated automatically.	String (optional)
gasPrice	The amount of per unit gas. Only valid for a type 0 legacy transaction. If omitted, it will be calculated automatically.	String (optional)
maxFeePerGas	The maximum amount of per unit gas willing to be paid for the transaction. Valid for type 2 and type 4 transactions. If omitted, it will be calculated automatically.	String (optional)
maxPriorityFeePerGas	The maximum amount of per unit gas to be included as a tip to the validator. Valid for type 2 and type 4 transactions. If omitted, it will be calculated automatically.	String (optional)
authorizationList	A list that indicates what code the signer of each authorization desires to execute in the context of their EOA. Only valid for type 4 transaction.	Authorization (optional)

For Starknet transactions, you may use invocation request objects (https://github.com/starkware-libs/starknet-specs/blob/v0.8.1/api/starknet_api_openrpc.json#L2621):

Field	Description	Type - Optional
calldata	Array of encoded function call parameters	Array of Strings (required)
