    3. to: DATA, 20 Bytes - (optional when creating new contract) The address the transaction is directed to.
    4. data: DATA - The compiled code of a contract OR the hash of the invoked method signature and encoded parameters. For details see Ethereum Contract ABI
    5. gas: QUANTITY - (optional, default: 90000) Integer of the gas provided for the transaction execution. It will return unused gas.
    6. gasPrice: QUANTITY - (optional, default: To-Be-Determined) Integer of the gasPrice used for each paid gas
    7. value: QUANTITY - (optional) Integer of the value sent with this transaction
    8. nonce: QUANTITY - (optional) Integer of a nonce. This allows to overwrite your own pending transactions that use the same nonce.
  • Returns

    DATA, 32 Bytes - the transaction hash, or the zero hash if the transaction is not yet available.
