A blockchain transaction represents a data record of value transfer or state change submitted to a distributed ledger. Each transaction is cryptographically signed by the sender and broadcast to the network for validation. Once verified by network participants, it is added to a block and permanently recorded on the blockchain. These entries are irreversible and publicly auditable.
Context
The state of blockchain transactions involves continuous efforts to improve processing speed and reduce associated costs, commonly known as scalability challenges. Key discussions address the trade-offs between decentralization, security, and transaction throughput across various blockchain architectures. Future developments focus on layer-2 scaling solutions, sharding mechanisms, and alternative consensus protocols to enhance network capacity and user experience.
