Transaction Lifecycle
Watch how a Bitcoin transaction moves through the network, from creation to confirmation:
The Journey of a Bitcoin Transaction
Creation: A new transaction is built using unspent outputs (UTXOs)
Signing: The transaction is signed with the sender's private key
Broadcasting: The signed transaction propagates through the network
Validation by Nodes: Network nodes verify the transaction's validity
Mining: Miners include the valid transaction in a block
Each step has its own dedicated topic where you can learn more about the technical details and processes involved.
