I want to use Web3.js APIs to create an Ethereum transaction from an address (not a smart contract) to another address using sendTransaction method (https://web3js.readthedocs.io/en/1.0/web3-eth.html#sendtransaction)

Query:

  1. Is it feasible?
  2. If user has to provide it's private key for every transaction, wouldn't it breach the security? That is, it is possible to have multiple send transactions once private key is received.

  • Yes check this

  • It is always a security risk if you share your private key. But in some cases you need to. You need to be more specific about your "security" in order to answer correctly this.

  • Thanks for your response. Yes I have gone through the link provided. But I wish to create send transaction without creating contract Instance. Is it possible to generate transaction with the default eth account directly?

  • @Gagan It dependson what you want to do. If it's to send eth, yes. If it's to send transaction to a contract, then you need the instance Jun 11, 2018 at 13:45
