Assuming you have a signed transaction:

{
  "expiration": "2025-05-27T18:57:56",
  "ref_block_num": 25537,
  "ref_block_prefix": 2094524613,

  "max_cpu_usage_ms": 0,
  "delay_sec": 0,
  "context_free_actions": [],
  "actions": [{
      "account": "sysio",
      "name": "newaccount",
      "authorization": [{
          "actor": "sysio",
          "permission": "active"
        }

To validate the signatures, run:
