Tendermint offers a `broadcast API
<http://tendermint.readthedocs.io/projects/tools/en/master/using-tendermint.html#broadcast-api>`_ with three different modes to post transactions.
By setting the mode, a new transaction can be pushed with a different mode than the default. The default mode is ``async``, which
will return immediately and not wait to see if the transaction is valid. The ``sync`` mode will return after the transactions is validated, while ``commit``
returns after a transaction is committed to a block.
