Why This Tool?

Standard tools like cast send use "latest" nonces instead of "pending" nonces, causing "nonce too low" errors when PDP nodes are actively sending transactions. This tool uses the Filecoin Cloud Synapse SDK which properly handles pending nonces, ensuring reliable transaction submission even in high-activity environments.
