A token transfer signifies the movement of digital assets from one blockchain address to another. This transaction involves updating the ownership record on the distributed ledger, typically requiring cryptographic signatures for authorization. Token transfers are fundamental to the operation of all cryptocurrency networks, enabling value exchange and interaction with decentralized applications. Each transfer is publicly verifiable on the respective blockchain.
