ETH Private Transactions

Send private transactions on Ethereum Mainnet to protect your transaction from frontrunning bots.

Ethereum Mainnet

The blxr_private_tx endpoint allows users to send a single transaction that is added directly to the blocks generated by block builders.

Pricing: Private txs no longer require extra payments to bloXroute and can be used by all tiers (similar to blxr_tx) for free. In addition, private txs are automatically enrolled in the BackRunMe service and will pay back searchers 40% of the profit.

REQUEST

Parameters

Parameter	Description
transaction	[Mandatory] Raw transaction bytes without 0x prefix.
timeout	[Optional] An integer value that represents the time, in seconds, needed to wait for a Private Transaction to be included in a block. If omitted, it defaults to 0. If timeout is not 0 and the transaction is not mined after the timeout value, it will be sent publicly. If the timeout is 0, no public transaction will be sent.

node_validation	[Optional, default: false] Transaction would be validated by a blockchain node, and Cloud-API returns an error message (e.g. "invalid sender" or "nonce too low") in case the raw transaction byte fails validation check.
priority_fee_refund	[Optional, default: False] A boolean flag indicating if the bundle should be sent just to a single block builder who is participating in the priority fee refund program. Please refer to Priority Fee Refund for details of the priority fee refund program.
