# PlaintextTx

Unencrypted transaction view returned by debug writes (`.dwrite`). Contains the same fields as a shielded transaction but with **plaintext** calldata (before AES-GCM encryption).

## Definition

```python
@dataclass(frozen=True)
class PlaintextTx:
    to: ChecksumAddress | None
    data: HexBytes
    nonce: int
    gas: int
    gas_price: int
    value: int
```

## Fields

| Field       | Type                      | Description                                        |
| ----------- | ------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| `to`        | `ChecksumAddress \| None` | Recipient address, or `None` for contract creation |
| `data`      | `HexBytes`                | **Plaintext** calldata (before encryption)         |
| `nonce`     | `int`                     | Sender's transaction count                         |
| `gas`       | `int`                     | Gas limit                                          |
| `gas_price` | `int`                     | Gas price in wei                                   |
| `value`     | `int`                     | Amount of wei to transfer                          |

## Example

```python
result = await contract.dwrite.transfer(recipient, 1000)

plaintext = result.plaintext_tx
print(f"To: {plaintext.to}")
print(f"Plaintext data: {plaintext.data.to_0x_hex()}")
print(f"Gas: {plaintext.gas}")
```

## Notes

* The `data` field is unencrypted — contrast with [`UnsignedSeismicTx.data`](https://docs.seismic.systems/clients/python/api-reference/transaction-types/unsigned-seismic-tx) which holds ciphertext
* Only available via `.dwrite`, not `.write`
* The broadcast transaction uses the encrypted data, not this plaintext
