Crypto transactions are a secure way to transfer digital assets between wallets using blockchain technology.

When you send or receive cryptocurrency, you’re moving value across a decentralized network — without the need for banks or intermediaries.

Here’s how a typical transaction works:

1. You open your crypto wallet and enter the recipient’s address, the amount, and (optionally) a memo or fee level.

2. Your wallet uses your private key to generate a digital signature that proves you’re authorized to send those funds.

3. The transaction is broadcast to the blockchain network, where miners (or validators) verify it.

4. Once validated, it is added to a block and permanently recorded on the blockchain.

5. The recipient sees the funds arrive in their wallet.

Depending on the network (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.), confirmation time may vary from a few seconds to several minutes.

Transactions are transparent and traceable, with each having a unique ID and link to a blockchain explorer. But unless you reveal your identity, your wallet remains pseudonymous. It’s important to double-check the recipient address before confirming — crypto transactions are typically irreversible.
