Research direction

Start by locating the transaction decoding entry point and reviewing the README's current guidance for transaction formatting. Reproduce decoding with and without the 0x prefix, then determine whether the intended result is automatic normalization or documentation; done means the chosen behavior is clear and the decoding case is covered.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The transaction can't be decoded if there is 0x missing in front of the transaction - kind of inconsistent in Ethereum from my experience (we had this problem). Maybe add an automatic check for adding 0x if it is missing? Or just write it in Readme.
