# Sign and Broadcast Transaction

To sign and broadcast a transaction to the Hyperliquid network, follow these steps:

1. Retrieve an unsigned transaction (`unsignedTransaction`) from of one of the following requests responses: [transfer hype from spot to staking balance](https://docs.p2p.org/reference/hyperliquid-transfer), [delegate](https://docs.p2p.org/reference/hyperliquid-delegate), [undelegate](https://docs.p2p.org/reference/hyperliquid-undelegate) and [withdraw](https://docs.p2p.org/reference/hyperliquid-withdraw).
2. Sign the transaction using the following code:

```javascript
import { signUserSignedAction, userSignedActionEip712Types, isValidPrivateKey } from "@nktkas/hyperliquid/signing";

async function signTransaction(privateKey, unsignedTransaction) {
  const action = unsignedTransaction.action;

  return Buffer.from(
    JSON.stringify({
      ...unsignedTransaction,
      signature: await signUserSignedAction({
        wallet: privateKey,
        action: action,
        types: userSignedActionEip712Types[action.type],
      }),
    })
  ).toString("base64");
}

(async () => {
  const [, , rawTransaction, privateKey] = process.argv;

  if (!rawTransaction || typeof rawTransaction !== "string") {
    console.error("Invalid raw transaction. It should be a base64-encoded string.");
    process.exit(1);
  }

  if (!privateKey || typeof privateKey !== "string" || !isValidPrivateKey(privateKey)) {
    console.error("Invalid private key.");
    process.exit(1);
  }

  const unsignedTransaction = JSON.parse(Buffer.from(rawTransaction, "base64").toString("utf-8"));

  if (
    !("action" in unsignedTransaction) ||
    !("type" in unsignedTransaction.action) ||
    !["cDeposit", "tokenDelegate", "cWithdraw"].includes(unsignedTransaction.action.type)
  ) {
    console.error("Invalid unsigned transaction.");
    process.exit(1);
  }

  console.log(await signTransaction(privateKey.startsWith("0x") ? privateKey : `0x${privateKey}`, unsignedTransaction));
})();

/**
 *  To run with env variables:
 *
 *  $ export RAW_TX= 'rawtxhere'
 *  $ export PRIVATE_KEY= 'privatekeyhere'
 *  $ npx --yes -p @nktkas/hyperliquid@0.23.1 node hyperliquid-signer.js $RAW_TX $PRIVATE_KEY
 **/
```

3. Send the signed transaction using the [Send a transaction to the network](https://docs.p2p.org/reference/hyperliquid-send) endpoint.<br>
