TXS

TXs is the plural form of TX, a common abbreviation for transaction. The term appears in multiple domains, often referring to a unit of work that transfers value, data, or state, and that is tracked or logged to ensure traceability and accountability.

In blockchain and cryptocurrency, a TX is a data object that encodes a transfer of value or the invocation of a contract. A TX includes inputs and outputs, an amount, and a cryptographic signature. In UTXO-based systems, a TX consumes previous outputs and creates new ones; in account-based systems, it updates balances directly. TXs circulate in peer networks and typically incur a fee paid to miners or validators. They become part of a block when included by a miner or validator, and receive confirmations that increase security against reversal.

In databases and information systems, a TX (or transaction) represents a sequence of operations that must be executed atomically. It must be durable, and its effects must be isolated from other concurrent operations. In distributed environments, TXs may require coordination across systems (such as two-phase commit) to maintain the ACID properties of atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability.

In telecommunications and networking, TX commonly stands for transmission or transmitter. TXs appear in logs and configuration to indicate the sending of data across channels, with RX indicating reception. The term is used across equipment, protocols, and software to denote the act of transmitting information.
