eth_sendRawTransactionSync
Optimism API method that submits a signed transaction and blocks until the transaction receipt is returned or the timeout expires. This is a synchronous version of eth_sendRawTransaction — instead of returning just the transaction hash, it waits for the transaction to be included in a block and returns the full receipt. This method is defined by EIP-7966 and is available on op-reth builds that include the EIP-7966 implementation.

Optimism’s ~2-second block time means sync calls usually return a receipt well within typical timeouts. Pick a timeout that fits your application — the request returns once a receipt is available or once the timeout expires.

Parameters

  • signedTransactionData — the signed transaction data in hexadecimal format. Includes nonce, gas price, gas limit, recipient address, value, data, and signature.
  • timeout (optional) — maximum wait time in milliseconds, passed as a decimal integer per EIP-7966 (e.g., 5000). If omitted, the node uses its configured default. Note that Polygon (Bor) uses a different encoding — see the Polygon equivalent.

Response

  • result — the full transaction receipt object once the transaction is included in a block, with the same fields as eth_getTransactionReceipt. If the timeout expires before inclusion, the node returns an error.

When to use

Use eth_sendRawTransactionSync instead of eth_sendRawTransaction when:
  • You need the receipt immediately and want to avoid polling with eth_getTransactionReceipt.
  • You are building synchronous request/response flows (payments, bots, simulations).
  • You want to simplify transaction submission logic by getting the result in a single call.
For fire-and-forget scenarios or when submitting many transactions in parallel, use eth_sendRawTransaction.
