Commitment levels <mark style="color:yellow;">processed</mark>, <mark style="color:yellow;">confirmed</mark> and <mark style="color:yellow;">finalized</mark> are supported, defaults to <mark style="color:yellow;">finalized</mark>.
  * **encoding**: Encoding format for each returned transaction. The supported options are *json*, *jsonParsed*, <mark style="color:yellow;">base58</mark> and <mark style="color:yellow;">base64</mark>.
