Question: Is it possible to use eea_sendRawTransaction instead of eth_sendTransaction?

[jrocco2]

I'm working with Hypledger Besu. Doing public transactions with ethersjs is a breeze. However, I'm not sure how I can do private transactions using ethersjs. If it is possible to change the call from eth_sendTransaction to eea_sendRawTransaction then I feel like this could be achieved quite nicely.

Any thoughts or workarounds for doing private transactions?

You would need to sub-class JsonRpcProvider and create a wrapper for JsonRpcSigner that getSigner would return for Besu for this.

I have never used Besu, so you would. We’d to investigate if there are any other changes necessary though.
