# Transactions

## Overview

Viem provides a complete transaction lifecycle through the
[`Actions.transaction`](/docs/actions/wallet/transaction/send) namespace.

Build a request, estimate its cost, sign locally or through a wallet, broadcast it, and wait for
confirmation. The workflow preserves your Client's Chain and Account types.

:::code-group
```ts twoslash [example.ts]
import { Value } from 'viem/utils'
import { client } from './viem.config'

const hash = await client.transaction.send({
  to: '0x70997970c51812dc3a010c7d01b50e0d17dc79c8',
  value: Value.fromEther('1'),
})
```

```ts twoslash [viem.config.ts] filename="viem.config.ts"
// [!include ~/snippets/docs/viem.config.ts:setup]
```
