# `sendTransaction`

Submits a signed transaction to the network. This method uses [160 credits](/get-started/pricing/) from your daily balance.

The method validates the transaction and enqueues it. It does not wait for the transaction to be included in a ledger. Call [getTransaction](/reference/stellar/json-rpc-methods/gettransaction/) to learn whether it succeeded. This method accepts any Stellar transaction, including transactions that do not call a smart contract.

## Parameters[​](#parameters "Direct link to Parameters")

- `transaction`: (string) _[required]_ - Signed transaction envelope, as a base64-encoded string.

## Returns[​](#returns "Direct link to Returns")

`result`: (object) - Submission status and the latest ledger.

- `hash`: (string) - Hex-encoded transaction hash.
- `status`: (string) - Submission status. One of `PENDING`, `DUPLICATE`, `TRY_AGAIN_LATER`, or `ERROR`.
- `latestLedger`: (integer) - Sequence number of the latest ledger known to the node when it handled the request.
- `latestLedgerCloseTime`: (string) - Unix timestamp, as a string, of when that ledger closed.
- `errorResultXdr`: (string) _[optional]_ - Base64-encoded `TransactionResult` explaining why the transaction was rejected. Present when `status` is `ERROR`.
- `diagnosticEventsXdr`: (array) _[optional]_ - Base64-encoded diagnostic events explaining why the transaction was rejected. Present when `status` is `ERROR`.

The sample envelope is not accepted by mainnet, so the node returns `ERROR`.
