Kriptovalutatranzakció

Kriptovalutatranzakció, often referred to as a cryptocurrency transaction, is the process of transferring digital assets from one user to another on a blockchain network. This process is fundamental to the functioning of all cryptocurrencies. When a user initiates a transaction, they typically use their private key to digitally sign the transaction, authorizing the movement of their funds. This signed transaction is then broadcast to the network of computers, known as nodes, that maintain the blockchain.

These nodes validate the transaction, checking if the sender has sufficient funds and if the digital signature is authentic. Once a transaction is validated, it is bundled with other pending transactions into a block. This block is then added to the existing blockchain through a process called mining or consensus, depending on the specific cryptocurrency's protocol. This addition is permanent and immutable, creating a transparent and auditable record of the transaction.

The details of a cryptocurrency transaction typically include the sender's address, the recipient's address, the amount of cryptocurrency being transferred, and a transaction fee. This fee incentivizes miners or validators to include the transaction in a block. The speed and cost of a transaction can vary significantly between different cryptocurrencies and can be influenced by network congestion. Unlike traditional financial transactions that often involve intermediaries like banks, cryptocurrency transactions are peer-to-peer, reducing reliance on third parties and offering greater decentralization.
