send

Send a low-level transaction. Provide [to] for a call/transfer, –data for raw calldata, –value for native value, or any combination.

Syntax

send [to]

Arguments

Name	Type	Description
[to]	address	Target address. Omit for a CREATE-style deployment (use the deploy command for address binding).

Options

Name	Type	Description
--data	bytes	Pre-encoded calldata or init code
--value	number	Native value to send (in wei)
--from	address	Sender address (requires simulation or connected wallet)
--gas	number	Gas limit
--max-fee-per-gas	number	Max fee per gas (EIP-1559)
--max-priority-fee-per-gas	number	Max priority fee per gas (EIP-1559)
--nonce	number	Transaction nonce override

Examples

# Send pre-encoded calldata
set $data @abi.encodeCall("transfer(address,uint256)" 0x44fA8E6f47987339850636F88629646662444217 100e18)
send @token(DAI) --data $data

# Native value transfer
send 0x44fA8E6f47987339850636F88629646662444217 --value 1e18

Error Captures

Like exec, send supports error captures (-!> / -?!>):

set $contract 0x44fA8E6f47987339850636F88629646662444217
set $calldata 0xa3fdfee3

# Assert the call reverts with a specific error
send $contract --data 0xa3fdfee3 -!> Unauthorized()

# Capture the revert reason
send $contract --data $calldata -!> Error(string) [$reason]

# Boolean variable
send $contract --data $calldata -?!> Unauthorized() $e

Notes

• Either <to> or --data must be provided. Sending without either is a no-op and is rejected.
• Omitting <to> while supplying --data produces a CREATE-style deployment transaction. For deployments where you also want the predicted contract address bound to a variable, use the deploy command instead.
