Definition ∞ Cryptocurrency transfers involve the movement of digital assets from one wallet address to another on a blockchain network. These transactions are recorded on the distributed ledger and are typically irreversible once confirmed. The process facilitates peer-to-peer value exchange without traditional financial intermediaries. Such transfers incur network fees and vary in speed depending on the blockchain’s design.
Context ∞ Cryptocurrency transfers are a constant subject of news, particularly concerning transaction speeds, costs, and network congestion on various blockchains. The situation often involves discussions around scalability solutions and the environmental impact of certain proof-of-work transfers. A critical future development is the widespread adoption of layer-two solutions to enhance transfer efficiency and reduce associated expenses.
