POST Simulate Transaction

Nodes and observers

https://gateway.elrond.com/transaction/simulate

This endpoint allows one to send a signed Transaction to the Blockchain in order to simulate its execution. This can be useful in order to check if the transaction will be successfully executed before actually sending it. It receives the same request as the /transaction/send endpoint.
