# Transactions

The Bitroot blockchain supports Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) transactions,allowing compatibility with Ethereum-based tools and contracts.<br>

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Properties" %}
**from**

the address of the sender, that will be signing the transaction. This will be an externally-owned account as contract accounts cannot send transactions.

**to**

the receiving address (if an externally-owned account, the transaction will transfer value. If a contract account, the transaction will execute the contract code)

**signature**

the identifier of the sender. This is generated when the senders private key signs the transaction and confirms the sender has authorized this transaction

**nonce**

a sequentially incrementing counter which indicates the transaction number from the account

**data**

The input data for contract execution. For simple transfers, this is usually empty.

**value**

amount of BRC (ETH) to transfer from sender to recipient (denominated in WEI, where 1BRT equals 1e+18wei)

**gasLimit**

the maximum amount of gas units that can be consumed by the transaction. The EVM specifies the units of gas required by each computational step

**maxPriorityFeePerGas**

the maximum price of the consumed gas to be included as a tip to the validator

**maxFeePerGas**

the maximum fee per unit of gas willing to be paid for the transaction (inclusive of baseFeePerGas and maxPriorityFeePerGas)
