Transactions

Transaction

Every transaction is recorded on the blockchain as a proof of record. The blockchain stores the digital signatures of the accounts, providing proof that the accounts authorized the transaction.

A transaction typically changes the balances and state of an account. For example, a transaction to transfer 100 USDC from Alice to Bob will reduce Alice's account by 100 USDC and increase Bob's account by 100 USDC.
