# UnsignedSeismicTx

All fields of a `TxSeismic` (type `0x4a`) transaction before signing.

## Definition

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

## Fields

| Field       | Type                                                                                     | Description                                        |
| ----------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| `chain_id`  | `int`                                                                                    | Numeric chain identifier                           |
| `nonce`     | `int`                                                                                    | Sender's transaction count                         |
| `gas_price` | `int`                                                                                    | Gas price in wei                                   |
| `gas`       | `int`                                                                                    | Gas limit                                          |
| `to`        | `ChecksumAddress \| None`                                                                | Recipient address, or `None` for contract creation |
| `value`     | `int`                                                                                    | Amount of wei to transfer                          |
| `data`      | `HexBytes`                                                                               | **Encrypted** calldata (ciphertext)                |
| `seismic`   | [`SeismicElements`](/clients/python/api-reference/transaction-types/seismic-elements.md) | Seismic-specific encryption and expiry fields      |

## Example

```python
from seismic_web3 import sign_seismic_tx_eip712, PrivateKey

unsigned_tx = UnsignedSeismicTx(...)

signed_tx = sign_seismic_tx_eip712(unsigned_tx, PrivateKey(...))
tx_hash = w3.eth.send_raw_transaction(signed_tx)
```

## Notes

* The `data` field contains encrypted calldata — plaintext is not recoverable without the TEE's private key
* Created automatically by the SDK's write methods; visible in [`DebugWriteResult`](/clients/python/api-reference/transaction-types/debug-write-result.md) for inspection
* Compatible with both raw signing (`message_version=0`) and EIP-712 (`message_version=2`)
