const signedTx = tx.sign(privateKey)
const serializedTx = signedTx.serialize()Creating a fake tansaction for use in e.g. VM.runTx() is simple, just overwrite getSenderAddress() with a custom Address like so:
import { Address } from 'ethereumjs-util'
import { Transaction } from '@ethereumjs/tx'
_getFakeTransaction(txParams: TxParams): Transaction {
const from = Address.fromString(txParams.from)
delete txParams.from
const opts = { common: this._common }
const tx = Transaction.fromTxData(txParams, opts)
const fakeTx = Object.create(tx)
// override getSenderAddress
fakeTx.getSenderAddress = () => { return from }
return fakeTx
}The Transaction constructor receives a parameter of an @ethereumjs/common object that lets you specify the chain and hardfork to be used. By default, mainnet and petersburg will be used.
The MuirGlacier hardfork is supported by the library since the v2.1.2 release.
Support for reduced non-zero call data gas prices from the Istanbul hardfork
(EIP-2028) has been added to the library
along with the v2.1.1 release.
EIP-155 replay protection is activated since the spuriousDragon hardfork. To disable it, set the hardfork to one earlier than spuriousDragon.
