# sendTransaction

Submit a real transaction to the Stellar network. This is the only way to make changes "on-chain".

This method will use `10` [Compute Units](/nodeapi/about/billing).

## Reference: [Here](https://developers.stellar.org/docs/data/apis/rpc/api-reference/methods/sendTransaction)

## **Parameters**

* `transaction (string)`(required) The signed transaction to broadcast (serialized in base64).

## Returns

* `hash` string - The transaction hash (in an hex-encoded string).
* `status` string - The current status of the transaction by hash.
  * Allowed values:PENDINGDUPLICATETRY\_AGAIN\_LATERERROR
* `latestLedger` string - The latest ledger known to Soroban-RPC at the time it handled the `sendTransaction()` request.
* `latestLedgerCloseTime` string -  The unix timestamp of the close time of the latest ledger known to Soroban-RPC at the time it handled the `sendTransaction()` request.
* `errorResultXdr` string (optional) - If the transaction status is `ERROR`, this will be a base64 encoded string of the raw TransactionResult XDR struct containing details on why stellar-core rejected the transaction.
