# Send a Raw Transaction

<Card title="Recommended: JavaScript SDK with React Hooks" icon="react" color="#4779FE">
  For new React apps, we recommend the JavaScript SDK with React Hooks (`@dynamic-labs-sdk/react-hooks`) instead of the legacy React SDK documented here. The JS SDK comes with many benefits such as a much smaller bundle size and other optimizations. Use the [React quickstart (JavaScript SDK)](/javascript/reference/react-quickstart) to get started.
</Card>

In this example, we are going to send a raw transaction using the TON Connect `SendTransactionRequest` format.

```tsx theme={"system"}
import { useDynamicContext } from '@dynamic-labs/sdk-react-core';
import { isTonWallet, SendTransactionRequest, CHAIN } from '@dynamic-labs/ton';

const SendRawTransactionButton = () => {
  const { primaryWallet } = useDynamicContext();

  const onSendRawTransaction = async () => {
    if (!primaryWallet || !isTonWallet(primaryWallet)) {
      throw new Error('TON wallet not found');
    }

    // Build a raw transaction request (TON Connect format)
    const request: SendTransactionRequest = {
      validUntil: Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000) + 60, // 60 seconds from now
      network: CHAIN.MAINNET, // or CHAIN.TESTNET
      messages: [
        {
          address: 'UQDrjaLahLkMB-hMCmkzOyBuHJ186Qg_CZQhrOhIPBr0oDkB',
          amount: '100000000', // Amount in nanotons (0.1 TON)
          // Optional: payload for smart contract calls (base64 encoded BOC)
          // payload: 'te6cckEBAQEADgAAGEhlbGxvLCBXT1JMRCFdy+Mw',
          // Optional: state init for contract deployment (base64 encoded BOC)
          // stateInit: '...',
        },
      ],
    };

    // Send the transaction
    const transactionHash = await primaryWallet.sendTransaction(request);

    console.log('Transaction hash:', transactionHash);
  };

  return <button onClick={onSendRawTransaction}>Send Raw Transaction</button>;
};
```
