An instruction takes shape
Your wallet builds a transaction from the recipient, amount and network details. This is the moment to check your intention.
Permission becomes proof
Your private key creates a digital signature. The signature can be checked without sending the private key to the network.

The wallet broadcasts the transaction. Network participants check its rules before valid transactions can be included in a block.
Inclusion is a milestone
Confirmation rules differ by network and recipient. Check the transaction on the correct explorer and confirm the recipient can use the funds.
