eth_sendRawTransaction

Submits a pre-signed transaction to the network.

Submits a pre-signed, RLP-encoded transaction to the network and returns its hash.

Since Denim, Base produces a canonical block every 200ms and Flashblocks are retired, so newFlashblockTransactions and Flashblocks preconfirmation state are unavailable. To detect inclusion, subscribe with eth_subscribe("newHeads") and fetch transactions for each canonical block. See Migrate From Flashblocks.
