Transaction Lifecycle

Watch how a Bitcoin transaction moves through the network, from creation to confirmation:

The Journey of a Bitcoin Transaction

  1. Creation: A new transaction is built using unspent outputs (UTXOs)

  2. Signing: The transaction is signed with the sender's private key

  3. Broadcasting: The signed transaction propagates through the network

  4. Validation by Nodes: Network nodes verify the transaction's validity

  5. 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.
