Transaction Lifecycle
~5 minMedium
Blockchain transactions go through multiple stages: Created and signed by the user → Broadcast to the network → Validated by nodes → Included in a block → Confirmed as more blocks build on top → Finally considered settled/finalized after sufficient confirmations.
This demo visualizes each stage of the transaction journey. Watch how your transaction moves from creation through the mempool, gets included in a block, and gains confirmations. Each confirmation increases confidence that the transaction won't be reversed.
