# How to generate signed_transaction, base_transaction?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2018-01-08)

While sending bitcoin/bitcoincash site generates 2 values: signed\_transaction, base\_transaction
they are the same and look like this:
The question is, how to generate them and what do they include?

Firstly, the signed transaction and the base\_transaction will not be identical, the base\_transaction will not have the signature in it. But yes they will look very similar apart from that.
