  dash-tx [options] -create [commands]   Create hex-encoded dash transaction
```

### Options

```text
  -?
       Print this help message and exit

  -create
       Create new, empty TX.

  -json
       Select JSON output

```

```text
  -chain=<chain>
       Use the chain <chain> (default: main). Allowed values: main, test,
       regtest

  -devnet=<name>
       Use devnet chain with provided name

  -highsubsidyblocks=<n>
       The number of blocks with a higher than normal subsidy to mine at the
       start of a chain. Block after that height will have fixed subsidy
       base. (default: 0, devnet-only)

  -highsubsidyfactor=<n>
       The factor to multiply the normal block subsidy by while in the
       highsubsidyblocks window of a chain (default: 1, devnet-only)

  -llmqchainlocks=<quorum name>

       devnet-only)

  -llmqdevnetparams=<size>:<threshold>
       Override the default LLMQ size for the LLMQ_DEVNET quorum (default: 3:2,

       minutes, devnet-only)

  -testnet
       Use the test chain. Equivalent to -chain=test

       Delete output N from TX

  in=TXID:VOUT(:SEQUENCE_NUMBER)
       Add input to TX

  locktime=N
       Set TX lock time to N

  nversion=N
       Set TX version to N

  outaddr=VALUE:ADDRESS
       Add address-based output to TX

  outdata=[VALUE:]DATA
       Add data-based output to TX

  outmultisig=VALUE:REQUIRED:PUBKEYS:PUBKEY1:PUBKEY2:....[:FLAGS]
       Add Pay To n-of-m Multi-sig output to TX. n = REQUIRED, m = PUBKEYS.

       output in a pay-to-script-hash.

  sign=SIGHASH-FLAGS
       Add zero or more signatures to transaction. This command requires JSON
       registers:prevtxs=JSON object, privatekeys=JSON object. See
       signrawtransactionwithkey docs for format of sighash flags, JSON
